my cat snores

[thesun898]

my cat snores while he is asleep as well as he is awake. could this be serious, i watch him like a hawk and there are no other symptoms, he is happy and still plays alot

What kind of kitty is he? Persians and other 'push-face' cats often do snore because of their shortened nasal passages.

I have to agree with Karen. Our Raven, was a rescued Persian, and she did the same breathing as your cat. Please give us a few more details....

A number of ours snore. Mits, the one that puts me to sleep can rip almost as loud as I do. Bart will when he sleeps on his yummy. The little one ROZ likes too slide under the blanket and all you hear is her rumble. Chessie has a whitsle and drools like crazy.

Well, my Persian's face is as flat as a pancake and he only snores when he sleeps, not when he's awake. I have heard that Persians and Himmies potentially can have breathing problems because of the shape of their face, but Max hasn't had any problems at all and he's 16 now.

BTW, Max tells me that I snore too...

My cat Sky snores but his nose gets stuffy and this is probably the reason. He's on some herbal pills to help his sinuses but sometimes he'll still make some noises. Hopefully it's nothing serious.
