Snoring cat

[lessonsintightropes]

Darling lessonscat is ten. Over the last couple of years, she's started to snore quite a lot. She's not overweight (although probably at the upper end of the healthy spectrum as she's not very active) so I don't think it's a fat-related thing.

Should I be worried? Or just enjoy the very cute thing?

It depends. Is it a snore or more of a snufflle with added moans? I've found that when my cats grew older they've tended to do the latter somewhat luxuriously - rather like old men stretching and groaning pleasurably - particularly in their sleep.

When was she last vetted?

Oh god one of mine snores so loudly I have to turn him over in the night so I can sleep! I've had lots of cats, some snore, some don't. Never been a matter of concern to my vet but mention it to yours if you're worried.
