i have a lot of persians, so we have LOTS of funny breathing noises around here... the noises change from time to time, from cat to cat, and basically i just note the difference, pay attention to any other symptoms (including flea-re-emergence/allergy problems!). nothing has ever turned out to be anything serious--sometimes they just seem to, um, change their tune?
i'm in michigan, so forced-air heat and lack of humidity are a given in the winter. i have fountains all over the house--they calm me down, keep the humidity up, and function as the preferred water bowls for some of the kids... (these are NOT the cat fountains, but the human ones--and they are filled with everyday tap water because my cats HATE distilled or spring water; they seem to really like their water to have texture....)
i have a batch of maine-coonabees around here, too, so a full bathtub is NOT an option: they would LOVE it, and i can just see the trails of water throughout the house....
