how does anyone deal with it?? M snores on an occasional basis, mostly after he has been drinking. It occurred a few nights back. I layed in bed, wide awake, listening to his snores. I have suggested those, "breathe right" strips to him before, but he doesn't want to use them. I'm tempted to just buy them and stick them on his nose myself the next time I am serenaded by his snores. Or to hold his nostrils shut until he wakes up!!
I have been known to snore when I am really exhausted or if I have a head cold, but I don't think my snoring compares to his at all. I'm tempted to tape him one night to prove my case. Usually I would nudge him to wake him and tell him to turn on his side or something and let him know that he was snoring. But that hasn't seemed to be working lately.
As if M's snoring is not enough...we have a tooth grinding cat too! I have had cats all of my life and I have never heard of a cat grinding his teeth. K grinds his teeth to get attention. He will sit in front of you, move his head to the side and grind away. It is the strangest, yet funniest thing you have ever seen...I wish I could make this stuff up!
I've spoken to the vet about this behavior and he isn't the least bit surprised...however there is nothing we can do about it. I'm beginning to believe that this behavior is a psychological problem stemmed from birth. There is something psychologically wrong with this feline. He doesn't do it all the time, only when no one is paying attention to him. Last night it occurred about 4:00am. He was seated on our head board of our bed, grinding away. We have placed a water bottle there for such occurrances, but it is a constant battle between feline and human lasting about 30 minutes...K grinding...us spraying...kitty flying off the bed to return 2 minutes later and the process repeats itself. I certainly can't K a night gard for his teeth....frustration sets in!!
