This is sooooo frustrating!

Ok, there's nothing MAJOR going on here in good 'ole Seattle, but I do
have a bit of a kitty problem that I hope you can help me with.

Pooh, my "pleasingly plump" 17 lb. blimpo kitty SNORES! Not just loud
breathing. He snores loud enough to wake me up! His brother Tipper,
at about 13 lbs just has the faintest little "nose whistle" that's
actually kinda cute, especially when it comes from under the covers
where he's glued himself to me.

I was thinkin' about those "Breathe right" strips they advertise on
TV. But Pooh's nose is sooo much smaller than a hoomans. And then
what would happen? With the pressure released would he fly around the
room backwards until he deflated? Like a runaway untied balloon? It
would be amusing.....*slaps self* No of course I would never want
anything like that to happen to Pooh-the-feline-food-vacuum!

Btw...I mention their weights because "they" say that being overweight
and/or drinking can cause snoring. When I was overweight & drinking,
I snored. Pooh couldn't possibly be drinking, could he?? There's no
alcohol in the house! UnLESS he has a secret stash of those little
airplane-sized bottles!! *Pooh's Mommy begins to hyperventilate*

I used to use a throat spray—I can’t remember its name now. I wonder if there’s a kitty equivalent.

Awww! Poor Pooh! I bought some of those nose strips for T and they wouldn't stick (waste of $) so you know they won't stick to fur, then :( You might have to put him on a special diet for his weight.

b/t/w...T's old doctor prescribed him all sorts of medicine for allergies but none helped. His new doctor prescribed a nose spray called Flounase (sp?) and he sleeps w/o making a sound now. I don't know if they have a something like that for cats or not.
