Millions of pet owners like to sleep with their furry pals - as they feel safer

13 Nov 2019,MILLIONS of pet owners let their four-legged friends sleep in bed with them - because it makes them feel safer.

Leading animal behaviourist, Professor Peter Neville, said: “What’s clear is that sharing the bed with our pets is a normal part of our lives together and testament to the strength of the increasingly co-dependent bond between us and our cats and dogs. “Dogs, however, are more like 11-year-old humans in their social behaviour, often acting independently as guarders and hunters, but who all still find comfort and security close up with a parent figure or two when it’s time to sleep.

“But they do cleverly learn to use their appeal and warm benefits they bring to us to train us to meet their individual night-time needs and desires and to shift our sleeping habits to accommodate theirs.”1. The Faithful – Lies at the foot of your bed by your feet A very common position for many pet owners to find themselves in in the morning. The pet starts out nicely sharing bed space with their loving owner, but gradually expands occupancy of the bed during the night, perhaps to get more comfortable and dissipate heat if you are too warm. This pet knows how nice you are, taking advantage of your good nature as you move to accommodate them as they steadily stretch out in your half-awake state and shove you, ever so gently, to the side.

And more than one in 10 refer to their pet’s sleeping position as ‘The Wall’ - getting in between them and their partner.

Nothing like a human body 💋

How often do these people change the sheets?
