Is it normal that i never really slept with stuffed animals as a kid?

I always had this irrational fear that I might hug them too hard at night or accidentally roll over one, and then I might wake up in the morning only to find that their eyes had popped out or that they had otherwise been maimed somehow in my sleep. This never actually happened though, it was just a fear. For this reason I only liked to sleep with cats since I had two and they knew how to get out of my way, lol.

As a side note, one of my favorite memories as a kid was waking up and seeing my cat sitting on my nightstand. She then promptly stole the straw out of my cup and ran down the hallway. :D

But yeah, back on the original topic, can anyone else relate to not sleeping with their stuffed animals as a kid?
