Charlotte, my calico, was asleep on the chair next to me, and dreaming, making little moan sounds and twitching.
Unfortunately, while I'm watching her do that, my chair squeaked and woke her up.
She does twitch sometimes and will "snore."

Weird other worldly sounds.
My wife does that once in a blue moon, no video though.

Be interesting to know what cats and dogs dream about.

(5,946 posts)I had a beagle, a sheltie, a border collie and a hunting dog. They all chase things. The border collie had no interest in catching anything, just herding them. She had a rough time herding my mother's cats, they did not like it and attacked and cornered her and tried to take out her eyes. One of her most vicious cats was declawed (before being abandoned and adopted by Mom) and it did not matter to him. The beagle chased a toy car around the house (silly brother got it for Christmas), the sheltie chased anything smaller than her which usually meant bugs and the hunting dog always goes after rodents.
