It is a common and normal behavior. During the rapid eye movement sleep, the cat can experience scenes of dreams and it's common to see some movement of the paws, squeaking, and twitching. This is normal and no need to visit the veterinarian unless it's life-threatening.

Twitching can be caused by dreaming while sleeping. The cat's brain is actively processing the day's events. They usually move their paws, rapid eye movements, stretch, snore, and squeak. This behavior is normal and common for most cats.

Yes, it is normal for cats to twitch when sleeping. Twitching is a common behavior in cats, and is usually nothing to worry about. If your cat is twitching more than usual or exhibiting other signs of distress, it is best to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

Sometimes when your kitty is sleeping you may notice them twitching, stretching, snoring or even making unusual squeaking noises as if they're having a nightmare. It's usually nothing to be concerned about as they're all things associated with REM sleep.
