Cat dreams

Greetings,

Last night when she was sitting on my lap, sleeping, Rosalie did that
twitchy thing cats do when they are (apparently) dreaming -- I have always
woken my cats up when they did this, on the chance that it was a bad dream
that had them so agitated (and it's not like they have any trouble getting
back to sleep or having to go to work overtired!) so I petted her and she
woke up. She had this look that seemed to say "thank god it's you!!" and
she head butted me for several minutes, demanding scritchies.

You just wonder what they dream about. Nickleby would just purr if I woke
him up, I don't think his dreams were too disturbing. And Madeline would
wake up seeming totally confused, like "who are you and where am I???" It
was pretty funny.

Do you wake your cats up when they dream? Do they act funny when you do?

She was probably having a nightmare about being declawed.

Huh? She isn't declawed.

I figure mine are dreaming of chasing prey and sinking their fangs into
warm throats, so I leave them alone to enjoy it. ;-)

Congrats again on convincing Rosalie to trust your lap!

Huh? She isn't declawed.

You missed one??

May be she just didn't meet your criteria for declawing: "undernourished,
starving to death, euthanised, or
stuck in a cage".

Er, Phil mate - I know you're getting old, and the world is more
confusing for you these days, but FYI:

ceb ceb2

ceb2 is the declawer (AOL email addy). Not ceb (.edu email addy).
HTH HAND,

Steve.
