Title: Alice talking in her sleep
Post by: Mark on December 04, 2008, 23:55:17 PM
I really scared me - she is very vocal and doesn't meow like most cats - more of a vocalisation - similar to when cats have a stand-off. She was just doing it in her sleep but louder than ever. I thought she was having a fit or something - it really unnerved me  :scared: - she seems fine though. Anyone elses cats do this?

I had a cat many years ago who would talk when eating :) She was stray cat which i adopted and every time i put the food down she would start talking really loud and eat at the same time, it was really funny :naughty: I guess being stray she was warning the others not to come close :evillaugh: But never had a cat who talked in her sleep.

Alice may be dreaming and talking or arguing with other cats in her dream  :Luv:  :Luv2:

OK - next time - I was thinking today that I should walk downstairs in the morning or when I get home with the camera on as she always greets me like it  :Luv2:

Skye does this sometimes Mark.  I think she's dreaming and is always fine.  The first time she did it I panicked a bit and woke her up.  She was not impressed and immediately went back to sleep after giving me a big scowl  :rofl:

Smidgen mumbles in his sleep, when he is not snoring ... I think they are just having particularly vivid dreams. Obviously if it is accompanied by other symptoms get it checked out, but I would not be too concerned.

One of mu Burmese used to talk in his slep - sometimes quite loud yowls or just chirrups.  He also used to give us a running commentary while eating.  If the lovely Alice seems OK then I wouldn't worry Mark.

Tilly does this sometimes Mark, not often but bearing in mind she is bengal it is quite alarming and loud!  she sleeps on top of our wardrobe so I always have to check she is ok and she tends to wake up

that made me laugh out loud I can just image her  :rofl:

Byron does that Mark very loudly and I've run into the other room and found her fast asleep, both Schui and Byron run lots in their sleep and when I have 1 either side of me on the sofa I get a good massage  :evillaugh:  Schui also makes mouth movements like he's eating  :evillaugh:

Beautiful photos Mark  :Luv2:

Smudge used to do what I called a purry meow which was quite loud but Bonnie takes after me and she is very very quiet.  OK she doesn't take after me  :evillaugh: :rofl:

That last photo definitely gives me thoughts of catnapping - if only I could persuade Sophie another girl in the house would be a good thing - some hope!   :rofl: :rofl:

She wasn't very vocal but I turned the camera on last night. No light but better than nothing (OH was watching last week's X-factor)
