LOL. This is the first I've heard about someone being concerned about their cat purring.

Has a vet checked out this cat yet?

furball?

is he exhailing quickly? probably just a hairball.

The cat's been making this sound ever since he's had it...if that's a furball it's gotta be the MOTHER of all furballs! :lol:

Seriously, it's vet time.

you should get her check out if you are worried

my cat also breathes heavily when shes sleeping. I think shes either in a deep sleep or her fat compresses her chest too much. either way i dont think much of it.

I would say vet time..
Rascal makes noises when he sleeps but its a snoring sound and he does heavy breath and make noises like he is having a furball but then he usually is throwing up some hair.
take your kitty to the vet
meow and purr

I have two cats. The one sounds like a damn owl when it purrs. It almost hoots quietly, it's ammusing as hell.
The other has a loud, raspy purr, always has.

All cats purr differently. It's probably just purring.
I'm sure the cat is fine.

Although if you like throwing away money to scam artists, I mean vets, make an appointment. They'll likely do some tests, tell you everything is normal then bill you for $500. That's typical of vets.

HAHA I think there was a episode of King Of The Hill like that where hank gets a cat and the vet scams him hard.:lol:

[eelfliw]

Why don't you tape the noise and upload it for all to hear and determine if it's purring or if it's airway obstruction?

Man, I see stupid comments on RFD all the time but this almost takes the cake.

A. You have no idea if the cat is fine or not but you're willing to make a diagnosis.
B. The typical bill for a vet checkup is about $60. Stop exxagerating and stop characterizing vets are scam artists.

If your cat has ever had an upper repiratory disease [kind of like a cold for cats] it can totally linger, or, it can come and go. We have a long haired tabby who has always sounded rather wheezy, but she's fine. Your cat can be more susceptible to getting an infection again, perhaps, as I know ours is- one time I left our bedroom window open overnight, and the next morning, she was sneezing - she had caught a cold; it was really bad, so we took her to the vet's and he gave her an antibiotic that thankfully worked. A few months later, she had the same thing [sneezing lots] and once again, the antibiotic worked.

The moral is - you must take your cat in, in case it needs medicine, etc.

Good luck!! :)
