Question

Is it normal for my cat to twitch in it's sleep?

Answer 1

Don't worry. Your cat's dreaming. People twitch in their sleep when they dream too. If they twitching is excessive and violent, then you should consult a vet.

Answer 2

Its normal. Cats dream when they sleep and he's probably dreaming about running or playing.  My cats even eat in thier sleep.

Answer 3

It's normal for a cat to twitch its lips, the end of its paws and occasionally the ears when asleep. Some people think they do this when they're dreaming, because the eyelids sometimes move too as tough the cat is in REM sleep (the dreaming stage of sleep, but we can't ask cats if they had a dream).

Twitching a little bit is normal, if the cat is kicking blankets out of the basket than that's not normal. Some humans twitch a bit in their sleep too.  

Answer 4

Studies have shown that cats do dream. So your cat was dreaming thats all.

Answer 5
