Do your cats snore when they sleep? My oldest cat has been snoring this past year. Is it a sign of aging? Is it even natural?
My 2 other cats make sounds while they sleep but it is more like purring.
I just don't know...Maybe I should tape it & ask the vet when I visit!But I like to ask you first!

Sometimes if your cat is snoring, the cat might have an URI but cats can snore and be perfectly healthy as well.

Thanks! Probably it is natural. Haven't noticed any nasal discharges or other symptoms associated with URI!

Then he is probably just fine. If they snore at night and they are fighting a URI you would see telltale bubbles coming out of their nostril as they struggle to breathe.

My Mischa snores like a train............she wakes everyone up and I am sure that she even wakes the neighbours. She is 12 years old but has always snored. If i give her a little nudge this usually stops her for about 10 seconds. None of the others snore. Mischa has a very slight heart murmour so maybe thats why but oh boy its bad!

Kuce snores for a short time when she's sleeping. She doesn't have an URI nor is she overweight which is good. She's been doing it since we adopted her last year.
