What causes cats to snore while sleeping?

If the cat eats, drinks, poops and sleeps normally, then the snoring behavior is also normal. It may be caused by the wrong sleeping posture, or it may be caused by a natural tendency to snore while sleeping, especially for those cat breeds with specific facial structures. If a cat has a problem with its respiratory system, it will also snore while sleeping. At this time, the cat will usually have other abnormal symptoms.

Tip:

Parents should take their cat to the hospital for treatment promptly after discovering it is sick, and do not use medication indiscriminately without knowing the cause.
