Is it good to sleep with a cat?

Sleeping with cats is not recommended. Cats sleeping with people will affect people's health. Cats have a lot of hair and are prone to parasites. If they sleep in the same bed with their owners for a long time, they will also become infected. In addition, the fluff shed by cats enters the human respiratory tract, and symptoms such as asthma and coughing may occur. Therefore, try not to sleep with your cat. A special cat nest should be prepared for it and guided to sleep in its own nest.
Hazards of sleeping with cats:
1. If a person with allergies sleeps with a cat, the cat's hair and dander may come into contact with the human skin. Cause allergic reactions in the skin.
2. Cat litter and dirt left on the cat's paws are brought into the bedding, which can easily breed bacteria in the bedding and endanger people's health.
3. Cats are nocturnal animals and like to be active at night, which can also affect their owner’s sleep.
