At least thats what I think...If you notice, it is like that with a dog when they sleep...they'll kick their feet, growl, moan, and switch their paws while they're sleeping. I also think it is when they are at their heaviest state of sleeping> My reason being, is that every time my fuzzies wimper or yip when they're sleeping, I will pick them up, and they'll be as limp as a noodle. They are so deep into sleep that they dont realize i'm picking them up, and their body is lifeless...but they do wake up. My brother john was up the other week from mississippi. Kokie was sleeping like a rock...his paws started twitching, and he started crying in his sleep. I called my brother over, said "umm... john...I think I've got a problem" Picked Kokie up, and his head just flopped over to the side like a rag doll...you should have seen his expression :) -val ===== ~*~*~ VALERIE ~*~*~ ,',', __ \ `'`,/ \ ()o=; `'`','`/ . \/ / ( / \" / \(_ \(_ ~*`~*`FERRETS RULE~`*~`* Missing Noodles at the Rainbow Bridge [Posted in FML issue 4253]
