My cat snores. Does yours?
It's very quiet, but when the house is quiet, and he's really out, it's very audible. It's a little, high whistley snore.

I wonder if I should a) do anything about it other than wake him up and get him to move (which is incidentally the Mr. Pcat treatment) and b) if my other cat ever wants to smack him for it. (they sleep cuddled up together)

Weird.

1. That's how I find them
They hide in the damndest places for their naps and sometimes I'm afraid they've gotten out so I go looking. Eventually I get everybody to turn off their noisemakers and go listening for the snoring.

2. Yes Lily snores little snores
but Pad Thai also groans and yowels softly in his sleep. Siamese, you can't shut 'em up.

3. hm... my Siamese is my quiet kitty... it's the Am. Shorthair that snores.
Of course, my Siamese makes up for it... she has figured out that she can sit in our tiled hallway and yell and it amplifies her normally pretty, tiny, little voice. And she loves to hear herself talk.

5.5 pounds of skin, bone and hair, with a little tiny voice... till she discovered this natural amplifier in our house. Ack.

5. Our late lamented Charlotte snored all the time
You could hear her through a closed door. Her purr you could also hear the that same door.

7. Yes
One of mine does, Oliver. He's quite about it, but he does snore.

10. My Ryno snored so loudly she'd wake me up!
I miss that sweet little snore, her loud little purr. She was an angel.

11. my cats move their little feet when they sleep and I imagine ...
they are dreaming of running through endless sunshiney fields of grass, chasing bugs and butterflies.

13. Both of my cats snore.
Sometimes its quite loud. And then if I pat them lightly and they start a purr-snore thing, it's very loud.

Anything from a little sigh to a bearlike growl.

15. Wilbur is 16 pounds of love
He curls up right by my head and purrs loud enough to wake the dead. When he's done purring he will start to snore. I don't really mind it - it's actually quite soothing. Mr. Sleepyhead hates it however, and if he realizes Wilbur is on the bed he will remove him. (I tell him that if I can put up with *his* snoring, he can surely put up with the cat!)
