Ever watch a cat or kitten while their asleep? Besides some of them snoring, I've also noticed some that seem to be going thru something in their mind. They twitch, flick, groan, etc. Wonder if they're dreaming? I see it now... There they are, in a palatial estate with maids and butlers, liesurely basking in the sun on the veranda near the kitty-pool...not a care in the world! zzzzzzzz Know what I mean?

yeah they dream, REM and all that probably dreaming of cat things catnip, sunshine, chasing things, interesting smells, stinky cat food, a clean cat box, a warm place to rest, a massage , good people who pet them and let them in and out

Yeah...'what a life'! I believe they dream also, and sometimes when I see them make the motions, I try to figure out if it's a 'good dream' or a 'bad one'. Tough to tell though. Thx for the post.

I don't know if they dream or not.. but i have seen my cat and it looks like he is running or his face moves like his wiskers....So i am thinking maybe he is dreaming that he is being chased.. maybe by a dog or another cat.. who knows..

Yeah...guess everyone needs that dream-time to help resolve life's issues, huh? Even cats (likely all animals). Thanks for the post.

Moomin dreams - Moomin dreams of chasing mice
Moomin definitely dreams, usually when she is curled up on my bed. She will twitch her whiskers and sometimes she snores too. I think she dreams of chasing mice :-)

Yes, I think cats dream. I have seen my cats have rapid eye movements. Sometimes they even have bad dreams. I've heard my cat cry out in their sleep. When they have bad dreams, I try to wake them up and tell them that I love them.

Aha...yea, they do have bad dreams, I'm sure...after all, even a cat's life sometimes can get a bit too much. Thanks for the post.
