My baby kitten is twitching when awake. Is this normal behavior?

Twitching in his sleep is normal. Kittens dream a lot. The shaking though when he is eating is unusual. It could be an intention tremor. I recommend to record the behavior and then have him examined by the veterinarian. Make sure to show the vet the video of Spirit eating. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Gentle twitches can occur during relaxation or even during sleep. As long as Mila is otherwise eating, drinking, and acting normally, there is likely no reason for concern. If anything changes with Mila's overall behavior or energy level, it is worth taking a trip to the vet. I hope that all goes well!

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Rin! It's hard to say without seeing Rin do this. Babies do make more noise breath differently and have more active movements when asleep than adults. If the kitten is nursing and eliminating normally continue to monitor him. I would weight him daily, kittens should gain 10grams or 1/2 oz per day as a rule of the thumb if he stops gaining that indicated a problem. I hope this helps!

If you can wake her up and the shaking stops it is not a seizure and is more likely movement associated with REM sleep. If you try to wake her up but she continues to have muscle tremors it could be a seizure or neurologic disorder and you should see your veterinarian. If you do decide to see your veterinarian a video can help them determine what might be going on.

If Willow twitches only when she sleeps, she is having a lot of wild dreams. Thiis is nothing to worry about. It is also a sign that she is feeling very safe, so she can sleep very deep. She is likely having great adventures in her sleep, catching mice and playing. No worries!

I wouldn't worry overly about the twitching when they are asleep as many animals make active movements when dreaming. Your cat is likely simply twitching its skin because it is excited. As long as it is healthy and not showing discomfort when toileting I wouldn't worry about it. If it is really concerning you I would go to the vet for peace of mind.

This is common in cats. They often will squint one eye. As long as she downstairs have any discharge (yellow or green), swelling or continued excessive blinking (blepharospams) then she is likely displaying normal cat behavior. I hope everything works out well for your kitty Jinx. Best wishes and take care.
