Maybe I'm just impartial to sweet little cats, but I'd rather have the cat beside me than someone playing music for burning incense.
Incidentally, my cat has slept in my bed since the night I first brought her home as a kitten 2 years ago. If I put my hands behind my head and sleep, she'll curl up against my face and neck in the crook of my right arm and sleep there. She's such a good cat.
