We have 8 cats and 2 dogs. Didn't have the dogs during Tx but one of my cats, my former office mate who retired to our house 8 years ago, either laid on top of my chest or right next to my chest the entire time I was in bed. He would only leave to eat and poop. Sandy is now pushing 19 and has Type II diabetes so he's probably the next one to leave us.
