Is it normal to collect and sleep with stuffed animals as a teen or adult?

I'm warm, cuddly and I love to snuggle; can I join your stuffed animals?

I still have a few animals from when I was a kid. I can't sleep without my bear.

Mine still talk to me sometimes.

Oh hell yes. I have a frankly ridiculous amount of stuffed animals.

You should be proud that you sleep with stuffed animals and should tell everyone you can that you do so. I sleep with stuffed animals and I'm in my 50's. The only problem I have is, as the animals age they start to molt and I've had to have a couple of their glass eyes reset at the taxidermist. Though, if the animal is prepared properly, tanned and stuffed, by a good technician this shouldn't be a problem for many years.

I hope this helps you feel comfortable about sleeping with dead animals.

I'm 21 and sleep with a hello kitty so no you are not a freak.

when animals are stuffed they will sleep, much like humans.

Normal. I have stuffed animals in every inch of my room.

Most people throw away their stuffed animals by your age, or at least put them into storage. So in that sense, it's not particularly normal you still collect and sleep with them.

However, there's obviously nothing wrong with it.

You're not a freak.
