It’s adorable when your pets cuddle up beside you on the bed and the cuteness overload can make you forget all the problems in the world. However, some pets are a bit more greedy and just looove stealing their owners’ spots on the bed, claiming them as their own.
Scroll down and check out Bored Panda’s collection of the most hilarious and adorable photos of bed-stealing cats and dogs whose owners couldn’t help but post pictures of them online. Remember to upvote your faves and let us know in the comments if your pet is a bed-stealing derp or floof, too!
If you’ve ever wondered why doggos and cattos do this, there are a few possible reasons for that kind of behavior. Wag reports that some dogs can do this for negative reasons like disrespect and dominance while others steal your spot because they want to show you how much they love you and how loyal they are to you.

So if your dog is growling at you or roughly nudging you to get you to move, then there’s a problem. But if your doggo takes your spot when you leave and then moves when you come back, it’s a sign of respect because they’re saving your spot.
Cats and dogs also feel closer to you when they’re in a spot that smells strongly of you.
However, your dog might not respect you as “the leader of the pack” if it constantly takes your favorite spot on the bed or the couch. Are they trying to challenge your authority? Could be.

Or they could be trying to get your attention and expressing their warm and fuzzy feelings for you. Animal emotions are complex and a lot depends on each particular case.
If you don’t want your pet stealing your spot, they have to know that you’re in charge and that you wear the pants in the family.
You can start by teaching them basic commands like “move” (or “please, please, please, you goofball, get out of my bed, I have nowhere else to sleep”). In other words, setting limits is key. Obviously, this works far better with dogs than with cats. What’s more, if your pet has its own cozy place to relax, it won’t be as likely to steal yours.
