Snuggling up with your beloved floofs for a well-deserved nap on the couch is one of the coziest things you can ever do. The only thing that could make the experience better would be if it were gently raining outside the window. But do you extend the same cuddly courtesy to your cats and dogs when it’s actually time for bed?

My tiny cat? Sure.
My brother's 120 pound German Shepherd? No.
I love Copper, (the German Shepherd) but he is huge and produces a LOT of smelly dog oil that gets into anything he lays in too long. He has designated dog beds for that reason.
Cats are small, and don't have the same oily coat many dogs do.

Depends on the animal. My cat is welcome to sleep where he chooses but I wouldn’t share with a horse.

We just upgraded from a queen to a king so we could all be comfy.
She's 35 lbs. But she can sprawl out to the size of a damn great Dane.
If she isn't touching some part of me or my husband she isn't sleeping. Usually it's 3-4 spins and a plop right behind the crook of my legs with her head on my ankle.

I was 100% aginst it. We always had Family dogs and the thought of them sleeping in my bad was repellent. Then as an adult I got my own dog and suddenly nothing regarding him is disgusting. He sleeps in his own bed, but in the morning he wakes me up and he sleeps in bed until we get up. I love it.

*Currently two cats grooming each other in the crook between my belly and thigh* I'd probably be cool with it.
I love having my animals share my bed. I worry cuz I'm a fairly wild sleeper, but they fight back. The amount of times I've woken up cold, dangling off my bed, and crunched up is quite high. I have a king sized bed.
But they make me feel secure, and its still bonding.

For. My feet are never cold at night and I don't have to do the awful thing of wearing socks to bed. My pets are my foot warmers.

Every night since he was a baby. He (pug) climbs under the blankets and curls up against me every night.

For, but I’ll kick them out if they stinky.
Honestly, it depends where and how they fart and if you think the farts are stinky or endearing in a gross way.
Animals not sleeping in bed isn’t dependent upon a specific rule so much as it is based on an innate understanding of boundaries and who or who does not appreciate a heated sulfuric eggy stink at 1:33 AM 283/365 days of the year.
If you can laugh at all that, you are also For.
