1528.0. "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" by AWARD1::HARMON () Wed Jul 06 1988 16:22

    Does anyone else have a cat that snores!???
    
    Last night, as I was drifting off to lala land, I heard this noise.
    I listened and realized it someone(thing?) snoring.  Now, I live
    by myself, well I live with Schnitzel.  I listened a bit longer
    and realized it was coming from the foot of my bed.  I looked down
    and there was a ball of grey fur, paws over face, snoring away to
    beat the band!  So I decided if I wanted to get some sleep I best
    nudge the cutie......I got this look, or what I imagine was a look
    as it was dark, of total disgust followed by a stretch and a squeaky
    purr.  Schnitz stood up, looked at me as if to say "You woke me
    up from a dream of which I was about to catch this mouse....", flicked
    her tail, turned around curled up and went back to sleep.  Yup,
    she started snoring again......after a bit, she stopped.  Wonder
    if she has hay fever :-) or if it's due to the heat.

1528.1	Snoreeeeee	CLUSTA::TAMIR	ACMS design while-u-wait	`Wed Jul 06 1988 16:34`	8
	Honey snores all the time. He'll wake me from a sound sleep sometimes. And, boy, does he get upset if I wake him! He loves to sleep on his back, and whenever he does, it's snore city. Sure is loud! I love to watch him have a cat-dream....his little paws go a mile a minute and his teeth chatter...hee hee! Mary
1528.2	Another snore-er	FSHQOA::RWAXMAN	A Cat Makes a Purrfect Friend	`Wed Jul 06 1988 17:05`	5
	Nikki snores too. We keep the cat bed in a corner of our room and whenever Nikki sleeps there I can hear him sawing wood. I don't have the heart to wake him up, though...
1528.3	mnmnmnnnmmnmnmnmnmnmnrrr	MARKER::KALLIS	Anger's no replacement for reason	`Wed Jul 06 1988 18:01`	6
	Merlin snores sometimes. He also talks in his sleep occasionally. He's very cute when he does that. Steve Kallis, Jr.
1528.4	Loud as a train!	PARITY::WHALEN	And may the traffic be with you	`Wed Jul 06 1988 18:57`	10
	Oh, yes, my Ruby, who was 9 or 10 when he came to live with me, snores like crazy. It can be heard loud and clear from another room. It's so cute. He's usually got his paws around his face, with his face upturned when he's snoring. He's almost 18 now. My Tabby, may he rest in peace, snored as he got older, and he always dreamed. Long moans, "bird chasing sounds", and growls could be heard, accompanied with appropriate chewing motions, and muscle twinges. Sometimes it seemed like he was running in his sleep. Denise
1528.5	Snorkle, snurf, grunt, zzzzzz	MRESS::FEASE	Andrea Midtmoen Fease	`Thu Jul 07 1988 09:08`	9
	You can add Loki to the list. He has latent asthma, and I'm told that those with asthma snore. (My husband has asthma and when he and Loki, who sleeps on my pillow, get going, I might as well move to Siberia :-) :-) !!) He also grunts when he changes position or stretches, which he does often during the night. sigh Fluffy and Bigfoot sleep out in the living room, so if they snore, at least I don't know about it :-) ! - Andrea
1528.6	another one!	MYVAX::LUBY	love them furry terrorists	`Thu Jul 07 1988 11:10`	8
	Cinamon snores too! It is awfully cute... Karen
1528.7	Tristan too	STAR::BARTH		`Thu Jul 07 1988 12:48`	5
	Tristan snores too. It amuses me that this deaf kitty makes so much noise! If he could hear himself he'd probably wake himself up. ;-) Karen.
1528.8	Hannah snores and talks	SKITZD::WILDE	Time and Tide wait for Norman	`Thu Jul 07 1988 14:22`	6
	Add Hannah to the talking and snoring brigade...she sleeps on her own pillow on the bed, and all night I get the "SKNZZZ..SNORT...MMRPT?..SKNZZZZZZ" routine from her pillow. I think she has better dreams than I do. I also have the dobie in her bed at the other end of the room doing her stuff....the only time I wake up FAST is when the room goes silent. Those two really get into duets sometimes.
1528.9	Snore, Mumble, Twitch...	TOPDOC::TRACHMAN		`Thu Jul 07 1988 14:55`	2
	Lara snores too - snores ,mumbles, and twitches. I think she is dreaming of all the judges she's eaten over the past year!
1528.10	PURRS, not snores	WITNES::MACONE		`Thu Jul 07 1988 15:15`	4
	oscar just purrs. All day, all night, in sickness, and in health. Purr, purr, purr, purr, purr. So, in an effort to minimize some of his purring, if it is nighttime, I'll pretend he's snoring! 8*)
1528.11	S-N-O-R-E	AIMHI::MCCURDY		`Thu Jul 07 1988 17:49`	5
	miine 2 snore as well.. and Pookie is loudest!!!! and my S/O snores as well so the noise level is incredible!!!! Happy is also a "yakker".. talk, talk talk.. it is cute... regards kate
1528.12	Noisy Alex	HYSTER::DOYLE_D		`Thu Jul 07 1988 18:16`	7
	I'm sure glad to know other cats snore. Alex could wake the dead with his snoring. When he is awake, he purrs, when he is asleep, he snores. He only talks when he is hungry. Then the whole world knows he is hungry. He has a loud meow and his purring sounds like a motorcycle (a large motorcycle). I always thought I had a very strange (but wonderful) cat. Glad to know he is somewhat normal.
1528.13	Me too!	SUBURB::TUDORK	Kate n' IT	`Sun Jul 10 1988 11:20`	4
	Tarot snores - a real window rattler! Isis talks in her sleep. When one is quiet the other is going. My husband snores as well. I'm thinking of sleeping elsewhere (they crowd me for room as well) :-)
1528.14		PAR5::K_CIOFFI		`Wed Jul 13 1988 17:11`	4
	I'm so glad to see this subject. Jasper is 4 months old, and we just noticed him snoring the other day. I thought he was coming down with a cold, or had a stuffy nose. Now I know he's just becoming more and more human as he gets older!!
1528.15	Another	BUFFER::HOFFMAN	Joan Hoffman, DTN: 276-9829	`Thu Aug 04 1988 17:48`	8
	Munchkin snores too! So loudly, in fact, that when he and Mutu are sleeping together, she will poke him to wake him up! Isn't it nice, having stereo at night (husband & cat snoring)! Regards, Joan
1528.16	Close those eyes when you are sleeping!	JULIET::CORDESBRO_JO		`Wed Aug 17 1988 14:42`	12
	Do any of your guys sleep with their eyes open? Kalliste will lay flat out with his eyes open but with third eyelids rolled up to cover his eyes. It is really erie. When we are at a show, I often have people come running over to me saying that Kalliste is having epileptic seizures! I go check on him and he is sound asleep, with both eyes open, third eyelids up, and his body is twitching. Of course, we know that he is just having a wonderful dream. 8^) Jo
1528.17		JAWS::COTE	I'm not making this up...	`Wed Aug 17 1988 14:46`	7
	Uck, that does sound eerie.... Does he float above his bed and spin his head 360 degrees also??? ;^) Edd
1528.18	Chauncey, too	CLUSTA::TAMIR	ACMS design while-u-wait	`Wed Aug 17 1988 15:49`	5
	Chauncey sleeps with his eyes open when he lies on his back. It's usually accompanied by a strange snore, too. It's even funnier when his eyes aren't pointing in the same direction...gross! Mary
1528.19	Does their fur spell "Help Me?"	JAWS::COTE	I'm not making this up...	`Wed Aug 17 1988 16:23`	3
	"Dimi....Dimi....." Edd
1528.20	Just sleeping... whew!	OBSESS::JENSEN	Tap dancin' on a land mine	`Thu Aug 18 1988 16:55`	8
	Sarah does this on occasion. The first time I walked in to my bedroom and saw her lying like a lump on my dresser, eyes staring straight ahead, I thought she'd gone to meet her maker! Eerie indeed! j.
