Not physically...
I mean...
Well, she wakes up and makes these strange sounds.
For example, she's been sleeping on a box in the front room with me all afternoon and there was some bird outside making strange almost cawing sounds. She jerks awake and makes a strange cawing sound herself, except it is a cat cawing sound.
Prissy has some Siamese in her, so she has a rather distinctive voice anyway. So she's making this kind of Siamese cawing sound.
Yesterday she was making these sounds and I think she was actually asleep at the time.
Strange little cat she is...

I've heard my cats make weird sounds that actually attract birds, it's strange to hear and thankfully now there is no way any birds can be deceived into coming too close to my cats.
My first kitty was named Prissy too, she was a mixed siamese/burmese/ally cat .... her momma fooled around when she wasn't supposed to.

@rebelann oh, mostly I've learned... Opal is the first one that was brought to our door and we adopted Onyx to be her playmate. So, we lost 6 in 2017 we only gained 2 and while we are still in the double digits, the first one isn't a "2".

Cats do make some funny noises sometimes! Milo is a quiet little fellow though..he rarely speaks unless he is unhappy about something...then he lets you know it in no uncertain terms!

@scarlet_woman I had one that slept with his eyes at kind of "half mast." He was kind of goofy too.

I have a couple that when they are in a deep sleep start talking @ElicBxn . It is comical.

@ElicBxn She must have been in one very, deep sleep.

I've had a couple of cats that would chatter in their sleep. They also would yowl and hiss in their sleep too. It would scare the daylights out of me until I realized that they were dreaming. I would snuggle up close to them and yowl or purr in their ear. Pretty soon they would be laying on their back with their feet in the air and they would be purring and baking bread. Soon they would reach out with their paws, grab my hand, and would pull it close and start "kissing" it. I'd have to wait for them to let my hand go so I could clean up for work. If I tried to pull it away sooner they would wake up grumpy and I would pay for waking them and disturbing their dream. I always kept a jar of kitty treats handy on hand for the just in case moments. Usually if I gave them kitty treats when I disturbed their sleep they wouldn't be grumpy for too long.
What is really funny is Petey "barks" when he wants to go back outside. He'll go to the door and stand there and patiently wait. He'll give us a minute or two and he'll give us a "meow". If we don't say something, then he'll give us a louder meow. and wait again. Finally he'll really turn up the volume and "YEOW" which comes out more like a bark than a cat's meow. Then one of us gets up and lets Petey out to go under either the Mustang of the Kubota. He's definitely has us wrapped around his paw!
