My humans are snoring - one louder than the other. I wonder if this might be a frightening medical condition and if it is ... should I call an ambulance? What should I do? Last night I had to sleep on a chair (as you can see in the photo) because their snoring was greatly disrupting my sleep. Their noise was interfering with my purring rhythm. Terrible. Complely out of sync.
I should move them down to the basement! What do you think? Maybe I’ll move my dad first as my mummy is not that bad! Actually, most nights we have fun together playing on that screen with moving little arrows or little bugs or mice! Hmm!
Yes, I should keep her upstairs! How do I move him to the basement?

Dear CAT Victoria,
You have highlighted one of the insoluble problems of letting humans share your upstairs bed. When they snore the noise is horribly loud and upsets our natural slumbers. Of course, the best way to deal with this is to move the human off our bed and make it sleep on the sofa downstairs. Or even on the floor - I'd have thought that sleeping under a radiator would be quite cosy.
Instead, what usually happens is that we have to leave and go to sleep elsewhere. It's one of the disadvantages of keeping such a gigantic pet. I don't think calling an ambulance is a good idea. You don't want a lot of beefy men in high viz jackets barging into your home and interrupting your sleep. Better do what you are doing and sleep downstairs.
The other possibility is that when the snoring starts up, you jump on the human's midriff. However, some humans then just do a HUGE rolling snort (that I cannot reproduce here) when they wake up and then simply turn over and go back to normal snoring.
Sorry not to be more helpful.
Yours
George.
PS. Some humans claim we cats snore but that is definitely fake news.
George, we just love your blog. The human should always have to sleep on the sofa if they are disturbing a kitty from sleep time. Thanks for the share. Have a great weekend.

George, our cats retaliated by snoring back - MOL!
ReplyDeleteLucky me! Mom moved my dad off the big bed to a sofa in the other room! She couldn't take his snoring :-) Now, I have almost the whole big bed for me!

My Trudy Trotter snores, but she doesn't compare to my husband. Oscar Snuggles, King of Tidewater and Emmy Sweet Pea never did snore, so this is a surprise to me for my big fluffy, grey cat to be snoring, but she is always sleeping on her back when this happens. After more than five years of caring for her, she finally is trusting us.
