Tybalt woke me up this morning by walking up my side, like he often does, but instead of purring, he was licking and smacking his mouth. I woke up, half blind, and immediately looked in his mouth to see if he had eatten something he wasn't supposed to because it sounded like he had something still in his mouth. When I pulled back my hand it was covered in snot, and he had a huge snot splatter on his face and mouth. We cleaned up and I listened to his breathing and he sounded fine (I could honestly scarcely hear his breathing at all, but it certainly didn't sound congested or gross). A few hours past, and he hasn't licked or smacked, his breathing still sounded fine, and his nose isn't runny. He's eating and drinking fine; in fact after we cleaned up, he drank a whole lot of water and that was the end of his smacking.
I went through my room to see if he might have eatten something that made him gag and found nothing, but I did notice my storage closet was cracked. When spring comes rolling in, the whole house shifts and it sometimes pops open if you bump it, however, when I checked inside to see if there was something in there he could have eaten, I noticed it was very, very, VERY dusty in there. Yikes.
That's when I was finally awake enough to click back to the snot. However, would a snot explosion that big be related to a larger amount of dust? Well, it would for me, but I'm not sure about cats.
The only difference in his personality or mannerisms is that he's acting like he did something he wasn't supposed to... He's a very expressive cat, so when he gets in trouble, he has very guilty body language. Something tells me he got into the closet, fell or slipped, kicked up a load of dust, and went into a sneezing fit. I could be wrong, but that's my first conclusion. I really need to clean that closet!
I looked all over online and on the forum for something that sounded similar, but nothing popped up. He's still not licking or smacking, but he's still looking guilty. This all happened around 9am central time- so five hours ago. Right now, he's sitting in his window pretending he's not here, so I'm guessing he still thinks he did something naughty, which is a normal amount of time for him. He's really the most guilty looking of all cats and kind of mopes around when he's in trouble.
And... He just came to lay with me and is purring contentedly like he does 98% of the time. Breathing still sounds fine and he's cleaning himself.
