All I can do really is echo the statements that 1. cats will sleep where *they* choose and that 2. she's needing to feel secure in her new home and has attached herself to you guys for now.

My Maerlynn would ONLY sleep at my head (on my pillow, LOL!) when he was a kitten, but as he's grown, he sleeps either at the foot of the bed (mostly in winter when it's colder) and on various parts of the furniture.

Perhaps she's not fond of the little cubby, also. I only have one (out of six) who likes the cubby and she was the runt and is the smallest (about 7 pounds). Perhaps your little girl just doesn't like the close quarters. You could try something a bit different...get a box (about the size that 10 reams of printer paper come in), put her blanky in there and a couple of toys and see if she likes the open box better.

This way, you don't "waste" more money on something she might not like and you can see if it's just her not liking an enclosed place to sleep that bothers her.

Another thing to try is...if she's a "heavy sleeper" (you know...when she's asleep, you can carefully pick her up and she won't stir), you can try waiting til she's asleep and moving her to where you prefer her to sleep. But if she doesn't like that cubby or being enclosed, that may not work. This approach would be easier if you try the box.

Anywhoo...she's a doll to be sure. [img]smile.gif[/img] And ragdolls are sooooo loveable. [img]smile.gif[/img] Be patient and treat her well and she'll be the happiest kitty alive.
