do you think cat has dream while she is sleeping?

that is really ridiculous! and truly a cute scene to watch. but i don't think cats do dream, i just don't heard any of such explanations. but if ever they do, this would make me think what are the things they are dreaming of. i wish i know a lot about cats so i could find out myself if indeed it really happens, but i don't have cats at home so for now, i could not really tell.

Ya i heard that cats are use to dream. Those thing are which are part of the every living beings.

That's adorable.......my puppies do the same. I think all living Creatures Dream......But it's really adorable to watch these little Creatures dream

I have observed also our kitten before while sleeping and was wondering once if she has a dream..I am afraid to guess..LOL, Maybe!LOL!

I definitely think cats dream. Mine do at least. I sometimes watch my cats as they sleep because they look so peaceful. I do notice the small sounds and motions they make every now and then. I have a feeling they are dreaming about the recent happenings of the day. I imagine my cat is chasing a bird, or perhaps dreaming about playing with one of their toys, or anything that would inspire them to move slightly or make a sound. I am sure their dreams are not as complex as ours, but they must be seeing and hearing "something" while they are asleep. I sometimes wonder if they have "bad" dreams. Perhaps they have memories of being scolded or having a frightening experience and they relive that in our dreams, just like we do. If only I could get into my cats head for one day! I've always wondered if cats (or any animals for that matter) can dream about "imaginary" situation as we humans do. For example, I wonder if they ever have bizarre dreams where they imagine they are a human, or a dream where they have piles and piles of cat treats in front of them. I am sure there are scientific findings based on questions like these. It's interesting to think about. :)

It is not rediculous. If you watch a cats eyes under their lids, they move as if dreaming. I think they do.

everything with brain has a dream- yep

Hi plumwish07, I honestly cannot understand why people ask would ask such a question. Of course sleeping animals have dreams! Humans are animals, and they have dreams when they sleep, so why would one suppose that other animals don't have dreams when they are sleeping? IMO asking if we think animals dream is a bit like asking if we think people under voting age have dreams. While dreaming appears to be a feature of the sleeping state, the truth is that NO-ONE even really understands just what sleep is or why we seem to need it! So IMO it is quite strange to be wondering if the "sleep" that other species have is somehow different to the "sleep" that humans have. Sleep is sleep, and dreams are part of that state, whatever it actually is. And anyone who has observed a sleeping dog or cat will sooner or later see the animal acting out whatever dreams it is having while asleep. They will often move as though running or doing some other activity while asleep, in the same way as humans will during an animated dreaming experience. Animals aren't all that different from humans - nor are humans all that different from animals.

I'm sure they do as my dogs dream a lot they make little squeaking sounds, growl, move their legs as if they are chasing something, then move their mouths as if chewing and eating.

When my cat, Moomin, is sleeping on the sofa he often twitches and purrs. His little paws move up and down, and he sometimes shows his teeth as if he is hunting.

i don't own a pet but in the office we have 2 dogs and they are both cute while sleeping that i can't help but watch them , oftentimes i hear them murmur and bark a little, my lady boss told me that they are dreaming, i believe her since she really knows her dogs afterall. so i believe that cat also dreams.

I'm sure they do. I've seen paws twitch, mouths twitch, ears twitch. I've even heard them make little noises. That's what scared me about my cat last night, nothing, even when I put my head on his chest.

Yes animals do dream when they sleep, I think they do more miles in their sleep than they do in the day. I used to love it when mine dreamed I would stand and watch them for ages. My dog used to be the best she would be running in her sleep, and sniffing and sometimes she would cry in her sleep and do soft little barks. This would then wake her up and she would think she had heard another dog!

hi plumwish, I think animals do have dreams when they are sleeping. :P someone I know mentioned about similar behavior of her dog back then, she said that her dog might dream about eating his favorite foods because her dog was chewing as he slept. LOL.

not only cats but dogs too. for mine would give little barks and feet moving like running

Yes, I am absolutely certain that they do. I have never bothered to go find scientific proff of it because it is just one of those things that I know intuitively. I do not have a cat, but feel quite connected to them nevertheless.

My cat would do this too. His whiskers would shake while asleep and I thought he was dreaming to. But then what do cats dream about? Not about making money or finding 'prince charming' I bet they dream about catching a mouse or a fridge full of fish
