I would so love to cuddle with my girl in my bed. The first night I got her she slept right next to me on my sofa (low to the ground) and didn't move an inch. I didn't get a good night sleep because I made sure she didn't move at all or get up. It was the cutest thing ever having a little fur ball all cuddled up to you. However, it can be really really dangerous and they can very easily hurt themselves jumping from all different level heights even when just holding them. Especially with the little ones. I learned the hard way. I was holding my girl in my arms as I walked her down my front stairs of my condo building to go outside and she jumped right out of my arms and landed on the concrete. Fractured her tibia and fibula and needed surgery with an IM plate inserted. This happening only having her for a few days. I've also let her up on my bed (before her accident) and supervised her, but I could tell if I wasn't there she would have jumped off any chance she got and I have a very high bed with hard wood flooring too underneath an area rug. Maybe if it was only bed time and she was tired she wouldn't jump and just lay there, but still they can get up anytime and jump and while you're sleeping too. Just too dangerous IMO. I have 6 step stairs and just started letting my girl experiment with them since she's pretty much all healed up. She'll go up 2 or 3 of them fine, but then turns around to jump off (I catch her of course). Even with the stairs I'm scared my girl will ignore them and jump off things. I'm convinced she's half rabbit too. She loves to run and jump around and tries to jump up on the sofa. I wouldn't do it unless I knew my girl ONLY used the stairs to go up and down onto/off of sofas/beds and the like. Even then I'd probably put huge throw pillows all around the bed/sofa or whatever. When I go outside now I carry her out in her carrier and put it on the ground and then take her out of it.
