I have a king-size bed. So I have 4 pillows on the bed. Two are

But the other two pillows I use (well, mostly the one on the left
side). Persia, the intrepid tapping cat (nose, cheek and shoulder)
has taken to crawling up on the top pillow above my head in the wee
hours of the morning. Then she starts tapping on the top of my
head! Or just placing a paw on my head and sort of leaning into it.

Kitties can affect sleep patterns! Since Betty died, it's a bit
harder to get to sleep without a purry furry on top of my chest or
hugging my side. But my sleep is also less interrupted by her
wandering away and coming back. During the summer, it's not too bad,
as she'll just climb on top of me and fall back to sleep. But in the
winter, she would tap at the covers next to my shoulder so that I
would wake up and lift them so that she could get inside.

Persia has never been a burrow under the covers kitty. She just taps me to
wake me up to try to get me to feed her LOL But I've heard about burrowing
cats, Tak.

My small dog (Sampson, RB) always wanted to burrow. I was stuck on a trip
back from visiting my parents in Florence Alabama with my brother when his
car broke down. So we got a motel room next to the Toyota dealership so
they could work on his car (and thank GOD there was a Toyota dealership in
this small town!).

The motel accepted my little dog without extra charge. We had a double
room, meaning two beds. And when it came time to go to sleep I said to my
dog, "Ready to go to sleep?" Lifted the covers and he burrowed down by my
feet under the bedspread. He curled up and went to sleep. My brother was
so surprised! I said, "Oh, you never saw him go to sleep before!" He
exclaimed, "Won't he suffocate?" Apparently not, he's been doing this since
he was a puppy. He likes it down there.

Sampson was around 9 years old at the time and lived to be nearly 18. I
guess sleeping under the covers didn't bother him. My feet don't stink LOL
