How old is he? Can he move properly without pain? Can he jump? How is his behaviour in general. Did it change?
I’d suggest a visit to your vet, to make sure he isn’t in pain or has other problems that make it hard for him to leave your bed.
If he is healthy and can move normally – does he have reason to leave your bed? Where does he get food, play time, cuddle time?
My previous cat lived on my bed for a few weeks when he was 24, was blind and had dementia. It started with him not being able to jump my on my bed or jumping down. he woudl sort of climb on it and to get down he woudl stand at the edge and meow until I helped him down.
Offering him a stair didn’t help. So I helped him up and down at the beginning. But he slowly lost the ability to find his way around the room and stayed more and more on my bed. He just wasn’t able to find his way around the room anymore.
I guess any limited space would have done, but he would cry out if I wasn’t close, and my bed was always his favourite place. So it was the easiest this way.
Is this a question?
Do you provide him a reason and opportunity to leave?
