Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

I have ample time to observe both of my cats during sleep. They follow me from room to room and never snooze more than a few feet of where I sit or sleep.
One of my cats, Nakori, is rather shy and retiring. If something scares him, he's off like a shot, in a closet or some other quiet place.
Jasper, on the other hand, is gregarious and wears his heart on his sleeve--er, mitts.
Nakori, though Siamese,is practically mute. Not so with Jasper.
At sleep time, Nakori doesn't seem to do much during REM phase. He's naturally quiet when awake and even more so when sleeping *duh!*
Like a few others have mentioned, I've actually awakened Jasper from dreams because he seemed so distressed. As a matter of fact, not only did he vocalize and growl last night, he actually hissed! I gently roused him awake, and he raised his head, looking around with that "where'd they go?" kind of look.
Both of my cats live entirely indoors and have NEVER had a terrible encounter. Jasper, however, has asthma, which requires that I give him inhaled meds twice a day. He doesn't care much for this ritual. He doesn't spaz out, but he doesn't exactly come running at treatment time, either.
I've wondered from time to time if maybe he isn't reliving the old inhaler song-and-dance!
