Cat sleeps right next to me

I am wondering why my cat Doug sleeps right next to me. No space is between my back and his back. He sleeps right pushed up to me. Curious if it's an emotional problem. I don't mind it, though a 12 pound cat with heavy fur, it does get hot. But, I would rather him be there, than not have him, so I am not complaining. He keeps taking more and more room every night though. And he is IMPOSSIBLE to move...lol. He will sit on my computer desk (that is in my bedroom). I have to move the keyboard so he can sit on the desk part, while I am using it. "keep in mind he is NOT spoiled...lol" He has been sleeping right next to me recently (past two-three months). My sister got a new puppy four months ago. He used to hang out in my sister's room at night, but then when the puppy came, he came back in my room. He use to change his favorite spots often. At first he use to sleep in his window seat, or on the computer chair (in my bedroom). In the past two or three months he started the sleeping right next to me and staying there all night. At first he wouldn't stay on the bed all night. He would move around a little bit. Now he stays right next to me all night. Is it something I should be concerned about?....or is it OKAY.

Thanks

As Cat said about her ^Pudd^, my Daisy sleeps on my head. Moxie only sleeps w/me in cold weather--right up against me. They like warmth & comfort, & want to be close to their humans. :o)
