We normally leave Julia's bedroom door closed so no cats go in there. Her bedroom is also right off the kitchen, so we also keep her door closed at night so all the noise will not keep her up. The cats do love to lounge on her bed when given the chance.
Gavin is Julia's cat, according to her. She will say that Gavin is "my cat". The other night she decided that she wanted Gavin to sleep with her. I did not think this was the best idea, especially since this meant that her door had to be left open, but figured we could try it. Julia was loving this plan. I had to stay out of the kitchen and turn off the kitchen lights to get Julia to stay in bed, but she was doing fairly well. I did have to explain that Gavin will not sleep under the covers with her, no matter how hard she tried to get them there; he wants to sleep at the other end of her bed. About 20 minutes later, I see Gavin come walking out of her bedroom. Less than a minute later Julia comes out chasing after Gavin saying "Gavin come back, you have to sleep in bed with me!!!". How do you explain to a three year old that a cat never does what you want them to, especially one that is deaf and can't hear you anyway!
Gavin eventually went back into Julia's room and on her bed. Julia eventually went to sleep too. The next morning she talked about how Gavin slept with her. I have a feeling that this is going to become a regular occurrence!
