Why does my cat twitch gently when relaxed or sleeping? Is it normal?

Question

My cat will quiver sometimes. Her whole body will gently twitch when she is relaxed/purring/about to fall asleep/when asleep. It's not all the time and varies with intensity. She's very healthy in every other way, what is this? Should I be worried? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

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!
