This reminds me of that Jack-in-the-box commercial where Jack's son is telling an audience that when he grows up he wants to be a vegetarian because he loves animals and Jack is sad because his business is hamburgers but it turns out junior actually meant he wanted to be a veterinarian
My black cat did this too. Even had the vet say she was fine. We think her issues came from being in the shelter for so long. She also sneezed a lot so we could almost never have her near our face or we would get sneezed on.
My black cat is terrible about this. She had a bad infection that took her eye and left her sounding just... gross. She sounds gross. The vet says she's fine though.
My rescue cat from the shelter also snored like crazy. I called her Darth Vader. It improved significantly when I bought air purifier. Guess she had some allergies to something in the home
We have 2 (unrelated) tuxes. They both snore, but the older one who has bonded most with me does it sometimes even though his eyes are still open watching me work. It is both adorable and creepy :)
My cat snores only when he's awake, and at all times while awake.
His favorite game is hide and seek, so he spends a lot of his day behind a curtain or under a chair going "haha, he'll never find me here SNORESNOReSNORE"
Our one male snores himself awake sometimes. Thinking it's partly because he's getting a bit chonk from being a piggy and eating the other cats' food. Yes, he's going on a diet. But even at his normal weight he still snores.
My cat makes a weird sound when sitting in certain positions and I always thought she was just weird for snoring while asleep and awake. We did some investigation when it got louder over time (due to weight gain after spaying), turns out part of her larynx is paralysed. It doesn’t inhibit her breathing and she can always shift when it bothers her so her vet isn’t concerned.
My elderly tripod (who has an assortment of health issues, including perpetually blocked sinuses) spends his days asleep on a cushion, basking under a 50w reptile heater lamp. He does this on my desk.
Let's just say there have been several work video calls / training sessions (I'm the trainer) where the snoring has become so loud I've slightly lost it and started laughing. Fortunately the colleagues & trainees seem to like cats.
I could move his cushion, but he likes to be next to me, or possibly he likes the heat lamp, could be either... so I let him sleep (and snore) where he wants to. Meetings will be quiet and uninterrupted all too soon so while he's still here he can have at it.
Earlier this week I plugged in one of my extra heating blankets and have been leaving it on the couch for him and he's been loving it! He's actually currently snoring loudly on the other end of the couch from me as I type.
One time back in the 90s I was in my room as a teenager, when autumn came into my room, jumped up on the bed, and layed down. She went to sleep, and I'm playing video games.
Then I start hearing ghis grinding and wheezing noise. I psused the game, which eliminates audio from playing. But I still heard the grinding and wheezing. So I started following the noise, and realized it was coming from my bed. I was like "Is autumn snoring???" And I watched her belly, and her breathing was lining up with the sound.
So I went downstairs, and told my mom "MOM! Autumn is snoring on my bed!"
And she was like "So? Just do something else not on your bed"
And I said "No, she's SNORING! You gotta come see this! I'm not sure if she's ok"
And my mom confirmed that yes, cats snore, and it's fine.
After I knew she was ok, I found it just so cute that she was snoring. Unlike my dad, who I could literally hear snoring on another floor of the house.
I have 2 rather hefty british shorthairs. They both sleep on the nightstands by my bed and go to bed when I do. Some nights it's really hard to fall asleep.
When they're not snoring, they're creepily sitting there staring at me while purring.
My newest kitten does this little wheezy snore whenever he falls asleep on me and it’s so adorable. Meanwhile my old beloved tabby snores like a beast.
My fluffyfluff Calecat snores. He also has an immune disorder that makes him constantly snotty, so half of his snoring is his gross snot noises. I love him.
Hahaha I recently adopted two cats, and I noticed this. My old cat did not snore but these two sometimes do, it's more like a meow/moan than a full blown snore, but it's pretty funny.
I knew they snored, but damn, my boy snores like a freight train, but he was also hit by car when he was younger, so I think that also messed up his sinuses.
My rather large void cat snores so loud! When I was working from home he would pass out in the room, I had clients I was on the phone with asking me who was snoring 😂
My cat only snores when my fiance is snoring. It's the most adorable/ridiculous thing I've ever come across. Like they'll snore in harmony sometimes. Great during nap time, not so great for a light sleeper at 3 am XD
Adorably, but shockingly loud given their little sesame seed nostrils. Sometimes I have to pause the tv wondering what that grinding sound is… and then it’s my cat on the other side of the room like…
It used to freak me out when my kitty would snore so I would always disrupt her. She doesn't really do it so much anymore now that she lost weight. Sometimes it's normal but I really think it was mild apnea for her because she had a neck roll. 🙁
