Most cats seem pretty limber enough to jump from low spots on the ground to high spots like countertops and furniture, but if your cat is getting older then he may have trouble pouncing around. This can be seen especially when it comes time for your cat to go to bed at night. If he suddenly stops sleeping in the bed with you it could be because he isn’t able to jump up onto the bed on his own anymore. If this is the case, try placing pet steps next to your bed and showing your cat how to go up and down to get to the bed. You may also want to consider a ramp or a small stool for your cat to jump onto. Lifting your cat is another option, but this could hurt your back over time.
