I heard Charlie snoring..

Is this normal?
I thought he was purring but when I touched him, he wasn't vibrating...The sound is different from purring, it sounds like a snore..

Does cat snores?

My chunky spayed female will wheeze sometimes when she breathes in, but that's a more high-pitched sound. Interesting!

My older cat Tiger is under my bed snoring right now.

Holland snored when she was a kitten, but doesn't anymore. It was always the cutest thing when I was holding her on my chest and her purrs turned to snores.

Snoring is often contributed to by being overweight - in animals and humans. Sho used to snore quite loudly, he sounded a bit like a peculating coffee pot.. I got his weight down and the snoring stopped completely.

Interesting - Snowball snores more often than Poppet, but neither are considered overweight any more (they were about four years ago though!), even though Snowball is tubbier than Poppet!

Charlie is not overweight, I heard him snoring only once

Newt snores sometimes. I only notice it when she's fast asleep on my lap. It's really funny. She's not overweight either.

Yup, Jake snores and he too is overweight.

It's really funny to hear them snoring

Maybelle snores when she's in a really deep sleep. It's a cute snore, kind of like when someone humms in their sleep like she'll breathe in and you'll hear a kitty hmmmm, and she'll have the biggest smile on her face while she's doing it.

She was overweight before the home I rescued her from, at which point she was underweight, and now if I had to guess she's around 12lbs at the most.
(guessing based on Madison weighing 10-11lbs, and my dog weighing 15lbs she's between the two and bigger built than madison)

if it makes you feel any better my dog snores too, so loud I can't have her and my husband in the bed with me together or I get NO sleep

My Fudge snores so loud, it wakes me up with a jump and I wonder for a second what it is

Three of my four cats snore. One is overweight, two are underweight. There's considerable racket when they are all sleeping in the same room.

I thought only humans snore...
