Any of your cats snore?

My calico, Charlotte, does.

As I'm typing this, she's sacked out on my desk just off to my right, making this "Mmmm..." sound when she breathes in.

I accidentally just woke her up, I petted her and now she's purring quite nicely.

or he'll never let me get the job done, either he lays on the sheets or chases them so I can't get the bed made. Sometimes I just give up and let him have his little victory and leave him there.

she has a deviated septum.

Sometimes the others will snore but they can't even come close to her level

My current cat, Pixie, sleeps at the foot of the bed and all night I hear this soft little "Snrrrk... snrrrk... snrrrk..." My late cat Milo sometimes snored so loudly that I had to poke him or roll him over to make him stop.

One of them slept so deeply that he would continue sleeping despite me opening one of his eyelids, seeing his "third eyelid" still covering the eyeball.

Cats have a third eyelid, or nictitating membrane, in the inner corner of the eye, which is also covered by conjunctiva.

He crossed the Rainbow Bridge almost 5 years ago. He had quite an array of funny little sounds that he made while sleeping, from a little scratchy hum to a faint moaning sound. He also did a lot of twitchy and fluttery movements when he was deep in REM sleep. It was a lot of fun to watch. 😊

Both were street rescues and both have some health issues. Our tuxie cat, Cococ, was in a terrible accident and her vocal cords were damaged, along with lots of other parts and she snores loudly & constantly. Our other cat has a chronic sinus issue and he snores too. It's part of the sounds of our lives.

She's our 15 year old tortoiseshell. Sometimes it's so loud that I can hear it from downstairs. Even with the doors shut.
