wrote on 7/10/03 7:33 PM: hey all - i just wanted anyone who might possibly be interested know that i ended up getting the kitten from the shelter that we thought might have feline asthma. we haven't decided on how to spell his name but it's opie/hopi. the shelter had a vet check him out before his neutering on monday and he didn't find anything wrong with him. he is active and eats/drinks but he breaths so loud! we don't worry about loosing him in our apartment because all we have to do is turn off the radio/tv and we can hear him. i have an appointment with our vet for next wednesday for the second round of boosters and to find out what is causing his loud breathing. now for my two questions... 1. do cats snore when they sleep? or is this a by product of whatever is causing the loud breathing? when he's sleeping it sounds like a snore, when he's awake it sounds like he is purring but has a runny nose. I bet it's from the breathing problem. He may very well grow out of it. 2. do cats pass gas? he'll start curling up around us, or will be sleeping, and all of a sudden we get a rift of a horrible smell. i know dogs can pass gas but can cats? i suppose they could... he has nutro natural choice dry all da and 1/4 can of nutro natural choice at night (chicken and liver flavor). Sure they can. It can be the worst stench ever. Mine have rarely done it, but I know some people whose cats regularly let rip. His system should calm down when he becomes accustomed to everything. Congrats! Thanks!!!!! |

Oh, yes. Some of my cats have snored at times, and some of them have farted. Priscilla -- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum. (thanks be to topfive.com) |

i just wanted anyone who might possibly be interested know that i ended up getting the kitten from the shelter that we thought might have feline asthma. Congratulations!! i have an appointment with our vet for next wednesday for the second round of boosters and to find out what is causing his loud breathing. If it were my cat, I would hold off on the vaccines until it's determined that he is 100% healthy. The instructions on the vaccine insert says to only give to "healthy" animals. You might want to discuss this with your vet.
