| twitching I've tried to do a search, but nothing came up. Bailey has an odd occurance. It's mainly when he's napping. For instance, I'm upstairs working at my computer. He is curled up beside me. I look at him and he's twitching. He'll adjust his spot and stop for a second. Then once he's back to sleep he just begins twitching or shaking or something. When I have him on my lap he does the same thing. I can feel him just shaking and twitching all over the place. Does this ring a bell with anyone? It's a bit un-nerving. Thanks! |

| My cat does that whenever she's in a deep sleep. I'm talking the kind of sleep where her whole body goes limp. She starts twitching and you can left her head or paw and drop and she doesn't wake up. I thought something was wrong with her the first time I encountered it and finally ask my vet about it. She said that my cat felt safe and secure enough to allow herself to fall into a deep sleep and that the twitching was nothing to worry about. She only does it when she is in a deep sleep. Well it's been 12 years and she's still alive and somewhat healthy so the twitching at least in my cat's case is harmless. I'm not sure if this applies to dogs as well. |

| Its REM sleep a deep restful sleep. Sometimes the eyes twitch too. Ive seen my pets do it and I also saw my daughter do it when she was a baby and asked her doctor about it
