Sleeping Arrangments

So Gary has taken to sleeping on our bed at night. He sleeps at my feet over the covers. I have kicked this poor cat off the bed numerous times, to be woken by a loud, "RRRrrroew!" Followed by an even louder THUMP! He still continues to sleep on our bed.

So I have been consciously trying NOT to kick my cat. This trying not to kick him has interfered with my sleep. I been now sleeping diagonal in the bed to my poor husband's discomfort.

I sleep with a pillow between legs (back pain prevention). Last night, my pillow fell out from between my legs as I was wrestling to get the blankets from my husband. Gary immediately jumped on to my pillow at the end of the bed & fell asleep on it.

What did I do? Like a sap that I have become, I let him sleep on the pillow. I borrowed my husband leg to put between my legs.

Why did I choose this cat's comfort over my own? I'm not sure. Why does Gary continue to sleep at the foot of the bed even though I keep kicking him off? Not sure.
