Not only wild animals but how about thieves?
At first I had problems with being too aware of my furbabies when they slept with us, but as time went on I have gotten very used to it and don't even notice when they get off the bed (via ramp) during the night. I have one that sleeps right up against me and it no longer bothers me. All but one of ours sleep with us and she prefers to sleep under the bed.
Hahaha! Funny about having the GF sleep in the kitchen.
