Not the original commenter, but I have indoor cats in my apartment who can only go out on to the balcony. They have very animated dreams sometimes. They'll make whimpering sounds that are like muffles versions of the yowls they make when agitated and/or playing. Their feet will kick as of they're playing with a toy, and sometimes they will suddenly awake. Cat 3/3 in particular will awake "confused" and make questioning meows at me and my partner, before running to one of us as if to say "the heck was that?!".

It's interesting. Is it dreams? If so, are they dreams unsettling enough that they look to us for reassurance/comfort, or are we just anthropomorphising?
