I have 2 females, approx 3 and 2 years old, they are both indoor/outdoor cats. I have noticed that since they were kittnes they would have muscle spasms when they slept. As a matter of fact every cat I can remember having ( and dogs too ) would have these "spasms" when they slept. I was under the impression that they were dreaming about running and/or fighting or something, because the spasms were allways in the paws/legs or the ears. As far as having spasms while purring, I haven't noticed this before, but sometimes the cat will turn it's head fast to give me a love bite while I'm scratching her. Sometimes she'll just turn her head fast and forget the bite. Mabe this is coincident with what your seeing. hope this helps Fred Megna Digital Equipment Corp. 75 Reed Rd. Hudson, Ma. 01749
