I like to lay on my side in bed and read, and my cat will snuggle up in front of me. Often I’ll later flip around, and we’ll have each others’ back.

I tend to flip around a lot before falling asleep, so she’ll usually go lay at my feet (preferably on my blanket), but she’s good as long as she’s close.

Don’t cats have a protective instinct as well, where they face away from one while being comfy together?

I’ve made myself a gcode file that is just several tracks of skirt going around the bed several times. Works like a charm for leveling for me, and it’s fun to peel off after the nozzle.
