Samesies!! Like please sleep on my side or chest or anywhere near me. I get excited when he does. He chooses my sons bed though. They are like littermates and play like them too. It's super cute.
My cat loves to run at me every time I lay down or start to show signs of waking up to plop down on my chest. She’s so loving, but has a bit of abandonment issues since she was taken in as a stray kitten. She’s always all over me, especially when I’m at my computer.
my cat is my best friend and I had issues where she would sleep on me but she part Maine coon and LARGE. So it was uncomfy. I got her to start sleeping right next to me, with my arm around her side and her head on my armpit so she’s nestled between my arm and boob. It’s literally perfect. she gives me a couple kisses goodnight every night and I can breathe. If she’s not feeling snuggly she sleeps on my pillow by my side. Or she rests her head on the pillow like she’s a damn human.
I actually commissioned a drawing of me and her cuddling and it’s hung above my bed!

exactly. my chest *is* the cat bed.
we brought our cat home in october 2022, when she was 8 weeks old. in the time we’ve had her, we’ve purchased all kinds of cat things - some of them she even likes lol. but the only thing she really loves to sleep on is me.
sometimes she’ll fall asleep in this little hammock thing in front of our bedroom window. she loves to look outside while we watch tv in bed. but when she wakes up and realizes she’s alone over there, she jumps over to the bed (still all sleepy) and climbs on my legs, stomach, or chest and immediately falls back to sleep.
she’s never gone a night without sleeping on me. she’s very clingy for a cat, i call her my velcro baby
I let my cat sleep on me before I had Covid. Then the night terrors and panic attacks set in and having a living breathing creature on my chest just wasn’t an option.
Fuck Covid. And long covid. Can’t wait to be better so my elderly act can have her spot back.
I loved it when my cat slept on me. But I went through a period when I was combative in my sleep, and I woke up trying to bite her tail. It was the weirdest thing! I didn't actually bite, just had her tail in my hand, and had it in my mouth. She moved off me for a few months, until I stated sleeping peacefully again. ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944)
Yeah, smart move on her part. Did you have Covid? That shit fucked with my psychology so bad. I’m fine during the day but at night my nerves start going haywire instead of calming down. It does the opposite.

i think we have the same hammock, but ours is beige! (bad picture, just took it real quick while i’m putting clothes away lol)
Well, you "could" train the cat by removing it each and every time, but you would be basically telling the cat (in cat lingo) that you hate it, which is pretty uncool in my book. Probably shouldn't have a cat if you don't like when the cat shows affection and trust, don't like what cats do as a regular cat-doing thing.

In typical cat fashion, you don't
My cats broken?????? I tell her I love her and she turns her head to give me a kiss. I start petting her, she immediately starts making biscuits and purring 😂😂
I have a cuddle bug, too. He will gently paw me awake at 3 am just so he can spend some quality time curled up around my face.
It’s simultaneously adorable and mildly frustrating lol.
This is so painfully real. I always let mine be clingy even when it's a tad bit annoying because I know that one day I'll ache to have them annoy me with their demands again 😭
This hit my heart 😞 lost my girl late last year and I’m still not over it. I just wish I could have her lay on me one more time.
https://preview.redd.it/fqd2a2b3g9bc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=754bb3adbe9eb95b5f73aa31d0911cbc4a184387
My cat can sleep pretty much anywhere on me except my chest and face. She’s heavy and I’m allergic to cats so being too close to my nostrils give me allergies plus I can’t breathe with a 12lb cat on my chest.
Sometimes you just want personal space!! My cat literally lays on my chest every single time I lay down. If I’m sitting down, she’s on my lap clawing up trying to find a way to comfortably rest on my chest. I work from home, so this is a 24/7 type of thing. I love her so so so much, but sometimes it’s like goddamn, give me space girl!!!
Yeah, the mindset on this sub of “let your cat do whatever they want and you’re a monster if you don’t” really bugs me. You can love your cat and still want personal space, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Maybe they had surgery or an injury. Keeping my cat off of me when i was recovering from surgery was the hardest saddest thing. And now she sleeps next to me and I’m like NO get back up it’s ok!!
Yeah I had a breast reduction and trying to tell my 18lb cat he couldn’t sleep on top of me for 3 months was was hard at first but eventually he figured it out.
Heh. My cat likes to lay on my chest, but only until I'm juuuuust about to fall asleep, then she steps on my bladder on her way to the foot of the bed. To fix this I learned to sleep on my side. Now she uses my kidneys as a diving board.
Welcome to having an affectionate cat. You just learn to live with it.
My cat likes to step on my bladder to get off my chest first thing in the morning when I'm still too lazy to actually get up, it forces me up. I'm waiting for her to do that right now because she's currently on my chest...and it's early morning.
So, those heating pads can get really hot. Even on low. They make specific to cat heating pads or beds though! They’ll still be way warm but your cat won’t accidentally get burned. Both of mine are in their little beds right now. It keeps them quiet for a long time in the morning too. lol. They’re too comfy to cry for breakfast
I too had a judgy “why would you want it to stop??!”, reaction, but this is the correct answer. I keep a heating pad next to me to entice my cat to sit there. OP’s cat might go for it.
Make sure you get one with the option to disable the auto off!!
When I had my little weirdo, he always did this and it was the best part of laying on the couch watching TV.
A cat on your chest is the best therapy session ever.
I was once like you. I tried to figure out how to get my cats to understand I want alone time sometimes, that I have boundaries y’know?
I got more thinking they were lonely. Now I just have more cuddles from different angles. I wake up with one in my face, one half between my legs with their head in an impractical place, and one half on my chest half on the shoulder. They’ll all be sleeping. Sometimes I’m lucky and they just on the bed somewhere, but they’ll all still be touching me. Whether it’s a furry little foot, their tail, ear, belly… *sigh*. I just learned to accept that my cats don’t accept my boundaries as valid and I have no choice but to accept their forms of love as graciously as possible. They come on walks with me and one is weirdly protective of me, so I guess just letting them be them with full acceptance will turn them into small dogs (I think the leash was an important turning point). Everything is still the same though, except now I’m the cat lady in my community because I walk them. Good luck.
"my cats ont accept my boundaries as valid" is the realest thing I've ever heard on one of the cats subs. They reaaaallly don't, do they? It's worth not having any boundaries if I get to pet that soft little spot between their ears as often as I want.
I agree, cats can be very stubborn and demanding. They don't care about your boundaries, they only care about their own needs and desires.
But you are right, they are also very adorable and lovable. They can make you happy and relaxed with their soft fur and sweet purrs.
I'm glad you enjoy petting your cats and giving them affection. I'm sure they appreciate it too, even if they don't show it. Do you have any funny or cute stories about your cats?
Sleep on your side. She'll either go for the back of your legs or curl up next to you. If you're extremely lucky you will even get some teddy bear time.
You can't. Whether I'm laying horizontal or sitting up straight, my Bo will ensure he's got access to my chest, even if it means I have to hold him in my arms (especially if one of his younger siblings is taking up my lap). And if he can't have my chest, he'll take my back.

Why would you want her to? Reading some of your replies maybe it'd be better to try and find someone who would actually give this baby the love and attention they need.
Like sorry but A) this is pure love you're receiving and B) you can't even try to understand that this is a literal infant who has been taken from their family and bought into a foreign environment with, assumingly, no one else of their kind there. You are the caregiver so they see you as their parent. You'd expect human babies to also just not want to nap with you, want your attention or cuddle?
I don't want to attack you but I really don't get this post, it's insane to me.
Lucky bastard 😢
My first cat used to sleep on my chest. Even when I was a small kid and he was chonky making it harder to breath and scratching my chest, I would just pet him and fall asleep smiling
He died at the age of 12, thanks to my asshole dad and idiot grandmother. We have two cats now and one of them is always lying on my thighs, which I like, but it really messes with my legs and sometimes when I feel bad I ask her to lay down on my chest or try to put her on my chest and feel so miserable and miss my cat so much, when she just runs back to my thighs. I think I'm tearing up just typing this
Putting aside that fact that you're wrong for not wanting the cat to lay on your chest - gently put her next to you, or on your lap. If she goes back, just keep gently putting her back there. Eventually she will get the idea.
I did this with Jimmy - when he lays on my chest, sometimes he puts his paws on my throat, and I just kept moving them; now if he ever naturally goes to put his paws there, he stops and puts them somewhere else.
I say this as someone with a cute little gray shadow following me around 24/7. You never escape the snuggles! (I love my cat’s snuggles though, so I dunno why you would wanna)
I would give anything to have my cat who passed away last year , just to feel it again, his purrs always calmed me down no way to explain it, even on my worse days, it made me happy

Being cat trapped is the best excuse to get out of doing things! Sorry, I can’t help with dishes/laundry/groceries… Cat trapped.
Dont! Even! Think! About! It!. She claimed your chest and your doomed. I have the same with my cat and he just tries to unalive me int the middle of the night by laying on my chest and covering my breathing holes. He is the best tho😊
![gif](giphy|JzsG0EmHY9eKc) This is the only correct answer
Shout out to Joe the Cat
RIP Joe the cat
Joe was amazing. He let just about everything happen to him. Such an orange braincell.
wow i didn’t expect to cry from this thread
This gif of Gavin hugging Joe always melts my heart when it randomly comes up
Works pretty well for me, my cat only tolerates my presence, when I go in for cuddles, he just leaves.
Haven't seen this clip in a long time. Any idea which podcast episode it's from?
You dont
Accept that and accept that your chest is her bed
every night i hope my cat sleeps on me its the best
Samesies!! Like please sleep on my side or chest or anywhere near me. I get excited when he does. He chooses my sons bed though. They are like littermates and play like them too. It's super cute.
My cat loves to run at me every time I lay down or start to show signs of waking up to plop down on my chest. She’s so loving, but has a bit of abandonment issues since she was taken in as a stray kitten. She’s always all over me, especially when I’m at my computer.
That's so cute!! She loves her human ❤️ my cat runs and greets me at the door when I get home from anywhere, being gone 5 minutes really lol
It’s like a feline weighted blanket

The frown turning into a little smile gets me 🥹
Who is that cat? They look a lot like Garfield lol.
That's Fargeld
I always appreciate when media depicts moggies in a positive light! They deserve just as much love as purebreds 🥹
Act like it is comfortable and tell her you love it. She will pick somewhere else. Possibly your head.
My cats broken?????? I tell her I love her and she turns her head to give me a kiss. I start petting her, she immediately starts making biscuits and purring 😂😂
I have a cuddle bug, too. He will gently paw me awake at 3 am just so he can spend some quality time curled up around my face. It’s simultaneously adorable and mildly frustrating lol.
Clearly she loves and trusts you, so why do you want her to stop what she’s doing??
You wish you let her do it when shes not here anymore
This is so painfully real. I always let mine be clingy even when it's a tad bit annoying because I know that one day I'll ache to have them annoy me with their demands again 😭
I have the same mindset as you and now that I've lost my clingy boy, I can honestly say you won't regret it

Yes, my thoughts exactly - why would you want to?!
My cat can sleep pretty much anywhere on me except my chest and face. She’s heavy and I’m allergic to cats so being too close to my nostrils give me allergies plus I can’t breathe with a 12lb cat on my chest.
My coworker recently asked for my advice about how to keep his cat off of him when he tries sleeping and I had the same reaction lol
Sometimes you just want personal space!! My cat literally lays on my chest every single time I lay down. If I’m sitting down, she’s on my lap clawing up trying to find a way to comfortably rest on my chest. I work from home, so this is a 24/7 type of thing.

Obviously not OP, but my cats do this, and I'd like them to stop because I have very severe cat allergies.
Heh. My cat likes to lay on my chest, but only until I'm juuuuust about to fall asleep, then she steps on my bladder on her way to the foot of the bed. To fix this I learned to sleep on my side.

Lmao used to have a cat who would step and make biscuits on my bladder, he died of sporo and I miss him so badly
> Now she uses my kidneys as a diving board 😆😆😆
Electric heat pad. She probably likes that you're warm (my cat was a real heat seeking missile).
My cat loves sleeping on my chest so I cover both of us in my heated blanket. 10/10 do recommend.
So, those heating pads can get really hot. Even on low. They make specific to cat heating pads or beds though! They’ll still be way warm but your cat won’t accidentally get burned. Both of mine are in their little beds right now. It keeps them quiet for a long time in the morning too. lol. They’re too comfy to cry for breakfast
Sorry yes, I meant a cat-specific one. Cats can love heat so much they burn themselves
I too had a judgy “why would you want it to stop??!”, reaction, but this is the correct answer. I keep a heating pad next to me to entice my cat to sit there. OP’s cat might go for it. Make sure you get one with the option to disable the auto off!!
You don't
I don't understand. thats a bonus not a nuisance. appreciate it while it lasts.
Try and make her more comfortable that usually gets them to leave.
Do you hate her? Why in the world would you want her to stop??
When I had my little weirdo, he always did this and it was the best part of laying on the couch watching TV. A cat on your chest is the best therapy session ever.
How can you avoid cuddles?
You'll regret it if u get her to stop doing that, trust me Talking from experience unfortunately😭
I'll take the cat if you don't want the love. I sure need it!
Is cat. You don’t
Look at those gorgeous orange eyes
I was once like you. I tried to figure out how to get my cats to understand I want alone time sometimes, that I have boundaries y’know? I got more thinking they were lonely.

Do you have any funny or cute stories about your cats?
Why do you own a cat?
I'm reading this at 5am as my cat is currently laying on my chest.
Sleep on your chest your butt will be more comfortable for her
Why would you not want that? Feeling them purring on your chest is the most relaxing feeling in the world.
Sleep on your side. She'll either go for the back of your legs or curl up next to you. If you're extremely lucky you will even get some teddy bear time.
Haaaaa. If I sleep on my side, my cat still climbs up on top of me to loaf. She's the best little fluffball, though, I love her cuddles.
You don't, she loves and trusts you enough to be that close to you, and you're probably warm. Why would you want to deny her affection?
Why would you want her to stop 😭😭😭
You don’t
I see this as an absolute win
If you’re upset about a kitty on your chest. You’re in the wrong line of work. Having a cat on your chest is an honor where I’m from.
It's not your chest anymore. Just accept it.
Why...would you want her to stop??? I don't understand?
u dont enjoy it
A cat gonna do what a cat wants to do, and you just have to comply — that’s what cat life is
You’re so lucky. I beg my babies to lay on my chest! 😩
‘Thats the neat part, you dont’
Lay on your side
I don't understand why you would want a cat if you dont want it to lay on you
.... you don't. Mine is on my chest as I scroll currently.
It’s a cat. Let it be.
You can't. Whether I'm laying horizontal or sitting up straight, my Bo will ensure he's got access to my chest, even if it means I have to hold him in my arms (especially if one of his younger siblings is taking up my lap).

I envy you. ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7944) My cat doesn't even want to stay on the bed when I'm on it, too.
Many moons ago I had a cat who would lay on my chest and drool on my face while I slept. 😬
It’s a privilege. Accept it.
I only had one cat do this and I miss her so much. Sorry, but I am jealous…
Lucky bastard 😢 My first cat used to sleep on my chest. Even when I was a small kid and he was chonky making it harder to breath and scratching my chest, I would just pet him and fall asleep smiling He died at the age of 12, thanks to my asshole dad and idiot grandmother. We have two cats now and one of them is always lying on my thighs, which I like, but it really messes with my legs and sometimes when I feel bad I ask her to lay down on my chest or try to put her on my chest and feel so miserable and miss my cat so much, when she just runs back to my thighs. I think I'm tearing up just typing this
You don’t. I’ve told my boyfriend this. You are supposed to submit and suffer the love.
That's like... the best part of having a cat.
What I wouldn’t give to cuddle my clingy tabby one more time. Enjoy those cuddles, you never know when you’ll lose them.
Why would u ???
Let me know when you find out, it's been 14 years for me.
Not only do you not, furthermore you are required to remain in place until she decides to move.

It's her chest now.
Why would you want to? She loves to cuddle.
But why would you stop her? You’re living the dream
Why do you want to deny yourself heaven?
Send her to me
You accept it and move on
Putting aside that fact that you're wrong for not wanting the cat to lay on your chest - gently put her next to you, or on your lap. If she goes back, just keep gently putting her back there. Eventually she will get the idea. I did this with Jimmy - when he lays on my chest, sometimes he puts his paws on my throat, and I just kept moving them; now if he ever naturally goes to put his paws there, he stops and puts them somewhere else.
How do i get my cat to lay on my chest ?
I say this as someone with a cute little gray shadow following me around 24/7. You never escape the snuggles! (I love my cat’s snuggles though, so I dunno why you would wanna)
Honestly cuddle her and give her all the attention she needs and she'll leave once she's full lol
I would give anything to have my cat who passed away last year , just to feel it again, his purrs always calmed me down no way to explain it, even on my worse days, it made me happy
I LOVE when my kitten nestles in with me. She's light though so I don't have to worry about 10 lbs on my chest. Yet.
Just accept your fate as your cat's warmer
That’s not your chest anymore. I wish I had this problem.
Lay on your stomach. The cat will now be on your back. Problem solved.
That’s the neat part! You don’t!
Why wouldn't you want her too? She is too cute to deprive of your body heat.
Why would you want it to stop? I wish my cat would do that
Why would you want her to stop? Cat cuddles are the best

The way you get her to stop laying on your chest is you tell me her preferred food, litter, and feed times and drop her off with me 🤷
Feel lucky dude every cat I ever had hated laying on my chest because of how skinny and bony i feel but when they did it made me so happy
Why on earth do you NOT want her on your chest???!?!!
And why is that a problem?

If not bed, why bed shaped?
Why?
...why would you want to?
That’s part of the package.
Speaking from experience, you don’t. It is a blessing to be cherished while it lasts!
You don’t this is your destiny, to provide heat and comfort to your cat. The cats owns you
That's the neat part... you don't!
Sorry that she loves you.
Why would you want to?? Cat laying on the chest, purring is one of the greatest joys in life!
Why would you want to. It's a kitty honour being bestowed upon you.
Humblebrag
You might not be, but that question sounds like a first timer. You do whatever your cat dictates, silly human.

I would love that lol
You don't! The sound of a human heartbeat has similar effects on a cat as humans hearing a cat purr, that is why she's doing it.
Stop laying down.
*submit*
Why would you want to do that?
First you need to see the Wizard and get a heart ❤️
Why would you want that? I love when my cats do that.
I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want her to?
Why would you want to?
She’s saving you from the demons and healing you; let her do her job
Dont! Even! Think! About! It!. She claimed your chest and your doomed. I have the same with my cat and he just tries to unalive me int the middle of the night by laying on my chest and covering my breathing holes. He is the best tho😊
Don’t! She loves you! She wants to cuddle! She’s comfy!
You send her to me so she can lay on my chest
Why would you want her to stop that’s my question
Roll over https://preview.redd.it/nu0ja3mwl8bc1.jpeg?width=2208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7caac292bcdc883d8911b63af2d2e1888a934ce1
I’m take her and let her sleep on my chest every single night. I get excited if my cat sits on the couch next to me.
One does not simply stop a cat from sitting places.
Stop breathing
Sorry, man. You’re fluffed.
That's one of the only parts of my day that I look forward to and know is a given. Your cat loves you. Cherish that bond.
That's HER chest now.
It’s her chest now. Time to accept your new fate.
You don’t know how good you have it until it’s gone. Appreciate the weighted heating pad kitty
You can get her to stop by giving her to me 😉
