Today, I faced a dilemma. If I don't let the cat sleep in my bedroom, she spends all night howling at the door, waking up my 2-year-old in the process. If I do let her in, the dog gets distressed and chews the contents of the bin. If I let both of them in, I have no room to sleep. FML

Hey, OP here. For all of those who suggest drowning/bludgeoning/killing my cat, shame on you. I really hope you don't have a pet. For those of you who kindly suggested crating my dog, It's a good suggestion that I will keep in mind. My home is a two bedroom affair, I don't have a spare room to shut them in. My cat is a very nervous kitty, she was a kitten that came from a home with lots of young boys poking and prodding her and prefers the serenity and calmness I give to her. She becomes immensely stressed when I'm nowhere to be found. As for the dog, he is actually my boyfriend's dog and his is a case of boredom. Without the cat to play with during the night, he becomes mischievous and searches for trouble. No matter how well you plan, you'll never get everything and inevitably, there will be something he's shredded. Be it bin contents, washing or, once, the cat litter. Despite the numerous toys he has available. Our bed is a small double, and fitting a dog and a cat into the space barely meant to contain two adults is difficult. Adding a 2-year-old on top of that is a nightmare. For the moment, we're resigned to continue things the way they are. Your friendly OP - SweetheartSusie.

Since when are pet owners allowed room to sleep? Just lay where you want and let them settle in around you, sealing you in place like cement because you don't want to move and disrupt them.

Is the couch comfortable?

"Chew the contents of the bin"? What the hell does that mean?

It's called the pound, sweetheart. Or kicking their asses outside for the night!

Doesn't having pets in the bed totally kill the romance though? Anyway, next time train pets to be alone from they're babies! Hope you find a good way to sort it out, your situation sounds less than ideal. =)

If your room can fit a bigger bed, you could try saving up for a bigger bed, or get a doggy bed for the dog. sometimes when I'm sleeping on the same bed with my dog, I can move the dog somewhere else on the couch to give me room. Just some suggestions.

Get rid of the dog. Problem solved.

That's when you start using the cat as a pillow and the dog as a blanket.
