This is a reprint, but it’s because today I was snoozing and jumped straight up off my little soft bed and heaven knows what was happening in my sleep but whatever it was, I wanted OUT of there. So here’s the question:
Do kitties dream? Well, I certainly do. Mama says that when I snuggle up between her knees, sinking down into the wonderful comforter that’s on the bed (the same one I use for the String Game—hide the string under the comforter, then pull it slowly and I go bananas chasing that thing because it sharpens and hones my killer instincts or rather, hunting instincts, and I can chase that knotted up curtain cord for at least 15 minutes until I get bored and leap off the bed and slide across the parquet, looking for new horizons), I go off to what they call in Italian nina nana and I am deep into dreamland in seconds. I dream of many strings being pulled under many bedspreads while I chase each and every one until I’m exhausted, and I dream of my garden that I don’t have for a few more weeks and I dream of mama and papa scratching my chest slowly, sweetly while I purr and purr, and then I’m either attacked by a pit bull or suddenly realize that I used to be an orphan wandering around in the cold, cold nights and trying to find a place in a woodpile to stay for a few hours and I peep and peep in my sleep, literally, a little cry very unlike a myow (as I spell it) with more desperation in it just like a small human and then I wake straight up out of slumber and look around me as if the world is ending, and then I see mama and papa watching over me and I go back to sleep again after they have stroked me a bit and said, Loulou, it’s okay, you were just dreaming, and so I snooze again and dream of vanilla yogurt and world peace.
So yes, I guess we do. I just hope if mama jumps out of bed with a nightmare, I can comfort HER. But I probably won’t be awake to do it…
I’m going to try to keep awake, just in case mama or papa has a bad dream, but I think this is a lost cause. Those eyeballs are just about to shut.
You do look surprised. You’ll be even more surprised if your mama wakes suddenly from a dream and you get tossed as she leaps from bed.
In my dreams I chase bugs and birds and mices!
I don’t know if I ever catch them cause I always wake up before that…
Noodle and crew
I hope you have more good dreams than nightmares.
I am sure we are dreaming, LouLou and sometimes I even have a whole conversation with my mousie or a birdie and wobbling feet like I am chasing both of them…maybe I do, the peeps will never know 😉 Pawkisses for a Happy Dream…and micecream 😀 <3
MICECREAM??? I LOVE THAT! Wonderful word. Thanks for the visit.
Oh, I’m so happy to have company! Today my little paws were jerking all over the place and my eyes were half open. Go figure. But mama soothed me and I slept like an angel….
