Does your cat let you sleep/nap not facing them? (lemmy.world)

Just curious. If we're sharing the bed and I roll to not face her, my cat yells and marches over in front of whatever side I'm now facing and if there's not enough room, that's a problem for me to fix.

Just curious if this is standard cat behaviour or another adorably needy quirk of mine?

I have two cats and neither do this, but one wants to put her face as close to my mouth as possible. I can’t trust her though because sometimes she’ll touch my lips with her paw which is gross, and other times she’ll just sneeze onto my face from 0.5” away.

The other likes to sleep on me but panics every time I move even a little bit.

Classic cat.

I'd only add the two gross things that mine did while they were kittens is that they enjoyed licking my nose and eyes, for reasons known only to cats. That's a hell of an alarm clock.
