I don't let the cats on the kitchen table if I'm there, since I don't want the cats eating my food... Especially since there is no guarantee that whatever I'm eating is safe for a cat to eat. And also, our cats are very very fluffy, which means they shed fur everywhere. I don't want cat fur in my food. I don't care if cats go on the other tables, but I take them off the kitchen table whenever try to get onto it.

That being said, we absolutely allow the cats in our beds. It is so nice laying down next to a fluffy little animal that trusts you. I don't know why anyone would want to miss out on that.
