If he is doing it just once and a while that is fine. He is just dreaming. If it all the time I would call the Vet.
Good Luck.

We twitch as promptly as we sleep, too - that's many times in the time of REM sleep whilst our worrying gadget exams all its pathways out jointly as immobilizing our bodies - yet now no longer a lot that some twitching does take place. seem on the cats eyeballs below the lids - they could choose to be moving around at present, ie. speedy Eye flow sleep.

We twitch when we sleep, too - that's usually during REM sleep when our nervous system checks all its pathways out while immobilizing our bodies - but not so much that some twitching does happen. Look at the cats eyeballs under the lids - they should be moving around rapidly, ie. Rapid Eye Movement sleep.

No, kittens dream and twitch while they sleep. One of my dogs gets to twitching so bad she looks like she's having seizures!

My two kittens (who usually sit next to me while I'm on the computer) twitch in their sleep all the time! I'm sure they're just dreaming. They also "talk" in their sleep (but they're Siamese, so they tlak when they're awake too!)

My dog (he's 6 yrs) twitches when he sleeps, and sometimes makes little yip noises. It's adorable! It's nothing to be concerned about. It's just cute!

well we even twitch when we fall asleep too, it is our nervous system switching to low so to speak so our bodies can rest, also what your kitty maybe experiencing is DREAMING..... all animals twitch in dreaming they may be running in their dream trying to catch a mouse or playing with you in their dreams...don't worry about it there OK!

10 to 1 your cat is probably dreaming in his sleep. Every cat I've ever had has done this, so don’t worry. It is pretty normal. Sometimes they can even “chatter” in their sleep (again, dreaming).
