I've had pets all my life and even from a young age, I had my cat and dog at the time sleeping on the bed with me. Years on all four of my cats are allowed to sleep up on the bed and most nights they do or they sleep in their own beds or they hiding spots around the house. I've never seen anything wrong with sharing a bed with your pets and I'd be lost without having them within arms length from me during the night or not being woken up with a paw tap on the nose or a wet nose rub on my cheek
So do/did you guys let your pets sleep with you or if you don't have any pets now, do you think you would ever let your pets sleep on your bed if you have any in the future?
To those who think its unhygienic to let a cat or dog sleep on your bed - what if the animal is an indoor cat for example? Would that be acceptable since they don't go outside and then the person bringing in germs from the outside would be you and not the animal? Or would it still be too unhygienic in your eyes?
Interested to hear peoples views as like I said, my pets slept beside me since I was a kid so I don't know any different but wouldn't ever change but its interesting to hear other peoples views
Yes i do but my dog is so selfish she only sleeps on my bed if i stroke her belly. I feel really used sometimes My parents kick her off while im offering my whole bed for her..... *sigh*

It does not really matter as animals are not supposed to share a bed with humans, and I am shocked that your parents would let a pet sleep in your bed during your childhood. And there is not really such a thing as an indoor cat, as cats are adapted to take advantage of the outdoors as they have survival instincts. Unless that cat is spoiled or just lazy, but cats are supposed to roam freely and go hunting for rodents.
As a germophobe, no thanks. Do you guys even know the amount of bacteria they carry?! For all those who voted yes, you guys need to take care of your hygiene, like seriously.
