what do cats dream about

Cats do dream, and they experience different periods and cycles of dreaming, much like humans. During the REM (rapid eye movement) phase of sleep, which is when most dreaming occurs, cats may display certain behaviors such as squeaking and twitching of their eyes and ears. Researchers believe that cats dream about their daily experiences, much like humans do. For example, if a cat went outside and saw a bird and another cat, those images are likely what is playing through their mind during sleep. Additionally, cats may dream about hunting, their favorite toys, food, treats, or their human families.
