My 4-month-old cat groans in sleep. Is he dreaming or in pain?

Question

My 4 month old male cat is moaning and groaning in his sleep. I can't tell if it sounds sad or if he's in pain. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 15 days old | 5 lbs

If Millard is completely asleep while moaning he may not be in pain - he could be dreaming or even snoring. If he seems to moan when he's awake as well then I'd be more concerned about pain and would recommend having your vet examine him.
