- This is common, I think. My siamese even murmers in her sleep.
- (Nothing will stop that obnoxious lovable siamese voice!)
- I saw in a documentary that cats do have dreams, and they have
- stages in their sleep just like we do. I think Carmen is
- dreaming about finally kicking Agnes Depesto out of the house
- and having me all to herself, or about her one moment in the
- spotlight when she (an indoor cat) caught a bird on our 2nd
- floor balcony (I managed to free the bird, but that's another
- story). I really wonder what they dream about!
