Lily sleeps in the bed with us, and has done so from the day we took her home. I figured I would notice quicker then if she got restless (which they often get when they need to relive themselves). It worked for us. The first few nights I got up one or two times during the night to let her out ( I carried her out so she wouldn't get the chance to pee on the floor). Then she started sleeping all through the night and I was very quick to take her outside in the morning. It took some time to housebreak her ( 4 months), but having her in the bed with us has never been a problem. She loves to sleep with us, cuddles up very close to me and when the morning comes she wakes me by carefylly pushing against the side og my head with her paws, and then she crawls over my chest and licks my nose...
