Re: off-topic/should I worry about kitty making a noise when she breathes?
Yes..Cats do snoreI have had some nights when I felt I was trying to sleep in a very large dorm. I have one cat that makes strange sounds while breathing. I have had her for 5yrs. and she is as healthy as a horse(as the saying goes) I whould still have your Vet check out your kitty for the sound she is making
off-topic/should I worry about kitty making a noise when she breathes?
Hi everyone I need some advice re breathing. I realized my negative cat Trixie's breathing has become audible--it sounds a bit like snoring (I don't know if cats snore as such?), but she's often awake when I hear it. I've made an apptmt for another check-up (she had her last physical in November) but my vet, who I trust totally, can't see her till March 5. Any ideas? Should I be sufficiently concerned to get her an earlier apptmt with a different vet?

My positive Kitty Amber breathes that way also, I thought it was an URI but, my vet said do not worry it is all apart of FeLV. I would not worry too much, especially if you have an appointment in a few days Cherie "MacKenzie, Kerry N."

Dear Kerry: Unless your kitty is struggling to breathe, or is congested and seems distressed about it, I would not be terribly worried. You are right to want to get it checked out to find out WHY, but some cats do sort of snore. I have one indoor diva, a longhair who may be part Persian...her nostrils have small openings and her nose is a bit less protruding than my other kittys though she does not look like she got smacked in the face with something as the purebred Persians do. When she is sleeping she sometimes snores very audibly. The first time I heard her do that I was a bit worried but I have gotten used to it now. She only does that sometimes and she has never been afflicted with any illness in her upper respiratory tract so I've come to the conclusion it is nothing to worry about for now. Hoping you will find out there is nothing wrong with your kitty's breathing. Sally in San Jose
