CATDOLL : Is it harmful for a cat to sleep on the bed?

Six possible risks of sleeping with a cat

1. Impaired sleep quality: Cats need about 18 hours of sleep a day, but their sleep cycles are short and frequent. This may cause them to leave and return while their owners are sleeping, interfering with their owners' deep sleep.

2. Risk of bacterial transmission: Cats walk and rest on the ground, and their hair may carry dust and bacteria. If not cleaned regularly, these pollutants may contaminate bedding.

3. Hygiene issues: Cats’ paws may harbor dirt, and if they bring this dirt to the bed, it may cause discomfort to people.

4. Hair loss problem: Hair loss is a common phenomenon in cats. Excessive hair may cause respiratory problems or even allergic reactions in humans.

5. Disease transmission: If your cat has ringworm or other fungal infections, these diseases can be transmitted to humans.

6. Safety concerns: Since cats are small in size, humans may unconsciously turn over and press on them while sleeping, which may be dangerous to cats.
