So as i type this zoe is laying right infront of me sleeping on the computer stand. and every couple of minutes/ or less, just randomly, his whole body kinda jerks, as if he's being shocked with those things that are supposed to restart your heart, u know those things they use in the ER, any ways, whats with this? another thing, his lil paw keeps twitching, too. Is it just natural, or maybe he's having a dream or somthing? i'm just curious. Any more questions, let me know.

Oliver dreams too! hehe it's so cute cuz he'll be dreaming and then he'll like semi-wake up but not really, roll onto his back, curl his front paws up by his face and smack his lips (not with his paws, with his tounge, haha).... it's the cutest thing ever! My black lab dreams too.... feet and tail twitchin, eyebrows movin and lips going... she occasionally woofs in her sleep too! I try not to startle them during their dreams cuz I know it stinks when people wake me outa dreams!

Neo and my choc lab, Buddy, both snore and twitch something awful when they get into a good deep sleep. Buddy gets so loud sometimes we have to wake him!

Under a stack of blueberry waffles.
Pudge does that. Sometimes when she does it, she is so deep in sleep that nothing short of putting her on the floor after making some significantly energetic movements (if she's sleeping on me) will wake her up. I think that it's cool that she trusts me enough to sleep like that, but boy did it frighten me once.

Yup, definitely is dreaming. Is he snoring too? My cat snored/groaned and it used to interrupt my sleep sometimes.

Hi your Kitty looked like a cat we had and her name was Fluffy she passed away last year we think she had some type of cancer we had her 10 years didn't expect to see her go so suddenly. We got 2 more kitties when they were 4 weeks old they grow so fast they will be a yr old in a few months.They are part persian and half neighbor cat. Anyway, I just thought it was just ironic that you have a kitty like we had and you mentioned the name Fluffy. Anyway, we miss our kitty but we have two more to love now and are happy to be able to love 2 more kitties. It is like it was meant to be.

We miss our Fluffy still and will always remember her the way she was her personality was special like she was a guardian angel or something, she would always put her paw up on my shoulder like she was comforting me or something a very special cat.Hope you have a good week, Lisa C
