Why is my kitten twiching so bad?

Question

I have three little kittens. When they are resting they twich a LOT. Why is this? They're about four weeks old and didn't start till they were about a week old. They don't twich a lot but the one I'm holding now is twiching BAD. Is there anything I can do to stop this? And why do they do this in the first palce???

Answer 1

Your kitten is most likely probably just cold. You should put more blankets on him/her. and just keep it warm and if that doesn't work u should just bring it 2 the vet. Just in case

Answer 2

the kittens could be dreaming or could be cold. also, since they're only 4 weeks old from what you wrote, you may want to keep them in a blanket, etc because they do not have the fur that adult cats have yet. as they grow older they will twitch less and less. good luck!

Answer 3

hopefully you haven't administered any flea medication or ear mite medication this will cause twitches in kittens because they are too young and small for any medicines...this is the only reason i know if they continue you may want to call the vet and have them checked out

Answer 4

They may be dreaming some thing, or they are chilly. If it gets really bad, give your vet a call, and see what he says, it's maybe nothing but better to be sure and have peace of mind.

Answer 5

That's twitchin in kittens while they sleep IS normal. It will gradually lessen as they mature. Usually, when a cat twitches in his sleep, he is dreaming. It's the equivalent of our REM (rapid eye movement) - the part part of our sleep pattern where we dream.

Answer 6

My kitty only twitches when she is dreaming, and it is cute. Her little mouth moves and she twitches, she is probably chasing mice in her dreams.

Answer 7

my kitten did that to. you need to ask a vet. ours eventually stopped but yours might not...
