Is it okay to sleep with the cat?

Presumably most cat owners will prepare a small nest for their beloved cat to sleep in. But I believe there are also some cat lovers who love cats to the core and choose to sleep with cats. It’s crazy love. So is it good to sleep with a cat? What should I pay attention to? The editor of Boqi.com will discuss it with you.

It can be very comfortable to be with a cat, and according to research, owning a cat can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, not everyone is suitable for sharing a bed with a cat. If you have asthma or certain allergies, you probably shouldn’t let cats in your bed, or even your bedroom. Also, if the cat is disturbing your sleep by making noises, jumping up and down, or rambling on the bed, you should keep your bed to yourself.

However, there are also many people who do not recommend that owners and cats sleep together. Whether it’s a cat or a dog, it can have fungal infections and parasites. Holding small animals in your arms for a long time, close contact, weakened body immunity, and various environmental factors may cause fungal infections such as cat ringworm. Not so many people may know cat scratch disease. It is caused by a fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes caused by an infection of the bargan body after being scratched by a cat. Similarly, people may also transmit some diseases to cats, affecting the cat’s health. Moreover, cats are very territorial, and once they are used to sleeping in bed, it is not so easy to move them to other places to sleep. In addition, after the owner falls asleep, it is very likely that he inadvertently squeezes the sleeping cat. Although the cat’s reaction is more sensitive, it is still prone to the tragedy of being crushed when sleeping.

If the owner insists on sleeping with the cat, he must pay attention to hygiene issues. First of all, it is necessary to vaccinate and deworm the cat. This is a necessary measure. It must be done for the health of the cat and yourself. Also pay attention to the problem of cat excretion at night, it is best to train cats not to excrete at night. Also pay attention to cat hair loss and other issues. Although cats have cleanliness, they must be taken seriously. In addition, pay attention to the posture when sleeping, so as not to press the cat. Since if you choose to sleep with your cat, you should be responsible for yourself and your cat. But the editor recommends that it is best to sleep separately, although it is indeed very happy to sleep with the cat.
