Did the title make you do a double take? Let me explain.
As you can see in this photo, Henry has his own pillow covered with a lovely fleece blanket right beside my pillow. This is because he used to always sleep beside me and when he got tired of it, he’d move to my pillow.
Recently I got a new memory foam pillow to help my neck. I figured Henry could have my old pillow since he liked it so much.
Not so fast. Turns out, sure he likes sleeping next to me, but what he really likes is sleeping on my head. Or, he just likes the new memory foam pillow even better than the poofy fibre-fill one.
I don’t know, but nowadays it is not uncommon to find him on my pillow in the morning. Then causes my head to slide down the pillow to accommodate my rather large cat, and results in my neck no longer being supported. Thus rendering the new memory foam pillow ineffective.
Not to mention that he also likes to lick my face and “groom” me. *sigh* The things we do to keep our furkids happy, eh?

Sis is the same pillow hog. She will rest upon the Knight’s leg pillow when he’s not in the bed, if she’s gotten warm or something. Otherwise, she believes we SHARE a pillow, and her dadaw is now tucking her in at night, telling her not to move for me, “… because you only have one eye.”
Riiiiight…

I think the pet hat syndrome must be nearly epidemic! Misty likes to sleep on a pillow, too, and doesn’t really care if you’re using it first or not!

LOL Stevie does that with our son. Every morning I go upstairs and Stevie has the pillow and poor Karate Kid’s head is on the mattress.

I’m sure it’s just because he loves u. Lol cat has a crush on you. Isn’t that just a cute pic?
