Sleep is an important component in living a healthy life, and your cat appreciates getting proper rest as much as you do.
It’s time to examine the most common reasons for this cat behavior and some frequently asked questions in line with this topic.
Just like humans, cats dream, and this is one of the most common reasons why they twitch in their sleep.
Their body is hard at work developing and making new neuron connections, which can result in quick, jerky movements while their body is resting.
If their skin is irritated, their body can move or make slight twitching movements in a bid to get the itchiness to go away.
Cats can have allergies, matted fur, or skin infections that may lead to excessively itchy skin. This can all cause them to twitch in their sleep.
Cats can experience muscle spasms during all stages of sleep and also when they’re awake. A spasm is brought on by their muscles relaxing and contracting back and forth.
