I have two brothers, they both stake out the foot of our bed at night. Dog is a quite sleeper and is gentle in all things he does. Bird on the other hand will attack my feet under the covers when I first get into bed. If he gets too rough I lift my pillow in the air and jumps off the bed, runs to the head on the floor and looks up at me. He will then settle down get back on my feet and go to sleep. Now about 3 AM he goes to my wife and nibbles on her chin to wake her up. If she covers her head he then will pull the covers away from her or gets under then to get to her chin. Once she wakes up she puts down some food and he is happy. The dog Biggs gets in his basket beside my bed when we go and stay there till morning unless a storm moves in then he gets under our bed. I am convince the only difference between a domestic cat and the larger ones in the wild is size.
