Muffin loves to sleep under the covers too. We actually sleep kind of belly-to-belly. There are nights that she comes out from under for awhile but she always goes back under eventually. She's been sleeping like this for over a year and there has never been a problem. I think that she too feels more secure when she sleeps up against me.

Mazie is a burrower! When we got her (at nine months) her previous owner told us that she liked to sleep with her head under her blanket.

When she started sleeping with us, she soon wanted to sleep under our blankets, too. I'm not thrilled with her being under ALL of them, as I feel it's too heavy and "close". But the comforter on top is light enough that I don't feel like I have to worry about her smothering if she just goes under that.

She has become quite adept at jumping on the bed, running to the head of it, flipping up the edge of the comforter with her nose, and then tunneling down to our feet where she likes to sleep.

Mine sleeps under the covers also. I normally just have a sheet over me tho. If it's cold enough (live in Fl) and I use a blanket also, I make sure that the edges are loose so if she wants to come out she can easily. And I leave an area with the blanket pulled back. I always figure if I leave everything loose that air gets in. In other words I just make sure I'm not laying on the edge of the covers trapping her in and possibly not letting air get underneath.

Thanks all.

I do have a baby blanket that is hers for her to sleep with on the bed. I think she has accepted that she won't be allowed way down there, but it's okay if she does it at the very top. Although I wouldn't mind it if that's what she wants, it would just worry me way too much to let her stay under there. I would never get any sleep worrying about what I might find in the morning.

So we have resolved it and she seems to be okay with it. I just snuggle her next to me and if she wants to venture just a little ways in, that's okay.
