Title: Is there a more contented sound than a cat snoring?
Post by: Susanne (urbantigers) on August 12, 2007, 19:10:18 PM
And why is it that people snoring drives me mad, but I love the sound of a cat snoring?

It was kitty tea time here about 2 hours ago, followed by a spot of play (Mosi insists on play after eating!) then hair brushing, nail clipping and teeth cleaning (followed by a treat for being good boys).  I now have Jaffa snoring on my his bed and Mosi snoozing in the hall.  Oh, and a glass of wine in my hand  ;D  It doesn't get much better than this!

I am ashamed to say I stayed in bed..........all day. And Lexy slept next to me for most of it. 

The snoring... bliss  :Luv:

Jaffa loves it when I have a lazy day and get up in the morning to feed him then go back to bed.  He will happily lie snuggled up to me all day.

It can be quite disconcerting when you first hear it at 3:00 am. The first time I heard is was when I woke out of a sound sleep to the sounds of heavy breathing in my bedroom - every spinster's nightmare (or fantasy, depending on your preference) :Crazy:. I was quite relieved when I found it was the cat. Phew!! But yes, now I know they do it, it is a very satisfying sound as it means they are so confident of their safety they can sleep deeply... :Luv:

Yes, a cat snoring is one of the most blood pressure-lowering sounds in the world.  Blip has a beautiful little snore  :Luv:

The snoring is lovely, but the 'wind' that usually comes from Tilly at the same time is really...  :sick: :evillaugh:

I hate it - I always think kylie is gpoing to stop breathing so it scares me. I always favour the double-purr as a relaxant  :evillaugh:

Oh, that's nothing!!! When I tried madam Pearl on some garlic tablets a while back, the only thing I learnt about them was not to stand behind her when she farted...  :sick:  :sick:  :sick:  :rofl:

Scruffy will quite often sleep on my knee and snore. She is the first cat I heard snore and initially I thought she was seriosly ill ! Now I know what it is I find it very relaxing :Luv:
