I am sure we have all watched our dogs and maybe cats sleeping

Have any of you watched your pet wag their tail while dreaming? My son's little Yorkie named Suki has done just that.
Suki is about 4 pounds of snuggles and cuteness. But it is so great to know she has happy dreams.

I have had dogs most of my life and I have never seen one sleep and wag their tail.

But the cat we had before her, Logan, made all kinds of funny noises and movements in his sleep. Everything from twitching paws and legs to making little clicky noises with his mouth like he was dreaming about stalking prey. He also snored frequently. My daughter and I used to fall apart laughing while watching him (stifling our giggles to avoid waking him up. I could kick myself for not making any videos of him.

I wonder how frequently this shows up in cats.

Thanks for sharing.

I never even knew a cat could snore but when I asked my vet about it, she said it was very possible.

My son's two Yorkies always surprise me.

Thanks for sharing.
