At What Age Can a Kitten Sleep With You?

Published in Kitten Sleep Safety 1 min read

It's generally recommended to wait until your kitten is around 6 months old before allowing them to sleep in your bed. This ensures they are large enough to navigate getting on and off the bed safely and are less likely to be accidentally crushed during your sleep.

Here are some additional factors to consider:

  • Kitten size: Smaller kittens are more vulnerable to being accidentally stepped on or suffocated.
  • Your sleeping habits: If you're a restless sleeper or tend to move around a lot, it might be best to wait until your kitten is older.
  • Kitten's personality: Some kittens are more independent and prefer to sleep in their own beds.

While you might be tempted to cuddle with your kitten at a younger age, it's important to prioritize their safety and well-being.
