Hi> I'm new to the forum. I have a question about my kitty.

My 6 month old male cat, Tiger, twitches something fierce when he's asleep. I've never seen another animal do this much twitching. It's almost like he's having tremors. His face twitches, his head jerks, his feet jerk, and his belly jerks. Also his eye lids flicker, and sometimes he half opens his eyes and they stay that way. It is too freaky to watch, but he sleeps right in front of me on my desk all the time, so I can't avoid it. He's doing it right now.

Is this normal? I didn't want to call the vet if it is normal, cuz I can't afford a vet visit right now.
He's in good health, a good eater, and very active and robust.

Thanks for any help.

Hi PandaBear and welcome :)

My cats do the same thing. I believe they dream when they sleep. My dogs will howl, bark and act like they're running when sleeping too.
