I've seen dogs talk in their sleep, but this is the first time I heard a cat do that!

My b/w "Lucky" was sound asleep, twitiching her paws, and making a sort of moaning meow.

Lucky made a big twitch, and was looking at me, I reassured her with head and chin scritches.

I've seen them do the paw-twitch thing (I always think they are dreaming about chasing bunnies or something) but I don't think I've ever heard one "talk" in their sleep. That's cool.
