23. Twitching During Sleep
Twitching of paws, tails, or whiskers during sleep is a sign that cats are in the deep REM stage of sleep. This stage is when dreaming occurs, suggesting that your feline friend might be reenacting their hunting or play experiences. These movements are a fascinating glimpse into their subconscious activity.
This behavior is normal and indicates healthy sleep cycles. Cats need uninterrupted sleep for physical restoration and mental processing, making their twitching both an adorable and vital part of their well-being.
