I find that cats (and dogs) can be trained to use a seperate bed if you don't want them sleeping with you. What I've done in the past is starting by placing the bed somewhere else other than your bedroom and close your bedroom door. That way they CAN'T sleep with you and they'll start looking for another area to sleep in. I've also tried placing an old t-shirt of mine in the cat bed so that it smells like me (this works mostly if your cats have been sleeping right with you in bed). Having your scent on the shirt is comforting to the cat and makes the bed familiar to them. Once you know that they've been using the bed for a few weeks, then you're probably okay to open up your bedroom door and move the bed into your room knowing that they now prefer to sleep in their own bed.
