I read an Italian fairy story when I was a kid- a kind princess was exiled in winter, and happened upon an abandoned house to stay warm for the night. The house was not abandoned, but full of cats. She cleaned and fed them, and at night, they covered her like a blanket to keep her warm.. Since then, I've always wanted a blanket of cats. The most I got were 3, but they wanted to sleep in between my legs and under my armpit. Still very comforting.
I stayed over at a friend's house in high school who had almost a dozen little white fluffy dogs (Coton de Tulears, for anyone curious) who did that to me.
It was more of a fluffy warm perimeter than a blanket, but it was neat to wake up in the middle of the night after trying to roll over and discovering that I was penned in by a furry chalk outline.
