Instructions
Play with the cat an hour before bedtime to get her tired, if your cat seems to have too much energy to settle down at night.
Carry the cat into the bedroom when it is time to go to bed. Give him a verbal command such as "time for bed." Bring a cat treat into the room with you.
Stroke the cat while you are carrying her into the room and talk to her in a quiet, soothing voice.
Get into bed and place the cat on your belly or chest; or along side of you on the bed. Continue talking to him in a quiet voice and petting him. Look at him and do a few exaggerated yawns. Yawning is contagious not only to humans, but to animals as well.
Give the cat the treat to reward her for getting into bed with you.
Fall asleep petting your cat and chances are good he falls asleep with you.
How to Get Your Cat to Sleep With You
Some cats, especially indoor cats that are home alone during the day, come to life in the evening and have a hard time settling down at night. However, most cats also like companionship, and if allowed to sleep in your bed with you, are eager to curl up and sleep at bedtime. If your cat is resisting sleeping with you, there are things you can do to encourage him.
