Have you ever seen a cat kneading and nestling in their luxury cat beds?The cats consider this bed, which is all soft and plush, as their own personal property, a piece of fine cat furniture.
When it's time for a nap or a night's rest, the cat will make this their home and dream of fighting great battles against an unknown foe.
How can you tell there are fighting a foe?Their legs are moving and the paws are striking.
Their faces contort with every strike.
Now that foe may be a mouse but I like to think that it is a giant dragon and my gentle little friend is the champion come to my rescue.
It is fun to watch the little ball of fur sleep.
They make you wonder in your thoughts what is really going on.
We can tell by their movements that they are dreaming but about what, that is left to our imagination.
Some cats snore or purr while they sleep and you know that the dream is peaceful with nary a worry in their little minds.
Other times they are chasing their favorite laser pen toy especially after you spent some time playing with them.
They do love to chase that red dot until they are out of breath.
When they are ready to sleep or take a short snooze, cats will start by kneading their beds.
This is like fluffing a pillow.
It is their way to fluff the pillow.
Even though they are asleep they are always at the ready to spring into action at a moments notice.
Have you ever seen a cat startled awake and jump into the air?Just to turn around and start kneading again.
This is to say to you I am not done with my nap so leave me alone as they return to their fine furniture and their luxury cat bed.
Cats and dreams, dreams and cats.
What a wonderful thing there is to be seen.
