Yes, according to tests that I have read all animals dream. So, if you see her jerking or something that is prolly the reason.

Well, I have read that they dream very little if any but I kind of tend to think they dream cause they will sometimes twitch and even meow in their sleep. I had a cat that cried out in his sleep and fell off the back of the couch. I have woke them up before when I think they are having nightmares and they will look at me, stretch, yawn, and go back to sleep but stop twitching and meowing.

I think so because sometimes when I watch my cat while she's sleeping she moves, sometimes even kick with her legs. If humans dream then animals do too.

Yes, they do dream. I have watched my cats "run" in their sleep. I have a cat now that talks in his sleep. He snores too.

I believe so. And sometimes those dreams can get quite lively! One of our cats is actually quite sedate when she's awake. But often when she's asleep she will make full-throated growling sounds, like she's a tigress.
