My cat Cobalt has had nightmares in the past. He will sometimes let out a muffled growl while sleeping and then wake up super confused, his eyes all loopy, and let out a hiss! He did this last week and both me and his brother came to the rescue to provide comforts. His cat brother, Rigby, came over to sniff him and assess the situation. I provided pets and a soothing voice. Cobalt just looked around rather confused and dazed.
I always suspected cats could dream. They twitch throughout sleep sometimes, but I always just figured that was due to deep sleep and didnt mean they were dreaming necessarily. But this behavior, a sign of a nightmare, that doesnt just happen involuntarily. It can really only mean he was dreaming. And it is stupidly cute and sweet! My poor little guy had a nightmare. Thank goodness he has a caring mama and brother nearby to help.
