Mollie fast asleep deep in the pillows
It’s 3 a.m. and a weird noise awakens me. It’s sort of familiar but it’s not the beloved husband’s snoring. It’s coming from the back of the bed.
Mollie, our smallest cat, who often sleeps there, was snoring up a storm. For a small cat, she sure can make noise.
I open one eye and in the dark I can see the silhouette of her body. Her legs are twitching, her hears flicking. Must be some awesome dream. I swear I see a smile on her face. Lucky cat.

Adorable but maybe not at that hour. Im the loudest snorer in our house due to allergies. But the cats can get pretty loud too.

I’m ok if all the critters (husband too) start to snore AFTER I fall asleep. If they wake me up or start before, I have a hard time sleeping. Mollie is a “soft” snorer so she is not too bad.

Our dog snores sometimes, but I have never heard a snoring cat! That must be a sign of complete contentment! Gotta love that! 🙂

My current crew of 3 all snore. Morgan is little pitty pats. Mollie has gotten louder as she got older. Hazel, prior to her weight loss, probably needed a CPap machine!

I’m convinced they really do dream. It sounds like Mollie’s was a good one. So sweet!

I think it was a good one too. I love that they can sleep so soundly and safely. Outdoors, cats just nap because they have to be aware and ready or they’ll get eaten.

Teddy dreams alot but doesn’t snore. Sometimes he wakes me up with a kick in the head. Jack purrs all the time even when he is sleeping.

I envy all my cat’s ability to sleep so soundly and instantly. Wish I could turn that on with the flick of a whisker (yes I do have the whisker…)!

She looks like such a sweet cat. Her life is perfect. No wonder she’s smiling in her sleep. Sweet dreams.

Wait until I take her for her tooth extraction in a couple of weeks. Technically it should be better because the vet says that she has to have pain in her mouth. Hard to tell with cats. That makes her sweet dreams so much sweeter.

Either none of my cats snored or I slept through every night (a very good possibility). Wonder if Mollie remembered her dream when she wore up. 🙂

Now that is a mystery humankind has not solved–cat dreams. I’m guessing they are like ours without the appearing naked in public one.

I wonder if they have that one where you are falling. Naked? You dream about appearing naked? Sounds like a blog post to me!

Actually I don’t as an adult. But as a teen or kid I remember having that dream. I REALLY had the falling dream a LOT as a kid and in fact I have a poem about it in my poetry collection. Now my dreams are very varied and interesting–when I can even remember them.

I don’t have that falling dream anymore. Maybe our dreams mature? Or we just can’t remember them!

When I was a kid, I didn’t dream of being naked, but I did dream of forgetting to wear my underpants to school and not realizing until I was pumping in a swing or turning upside down on the monkey bars.

But not lucky Kate! It is tough to be surrounded by snorers. I complain about my husband, and people are like, “go sleep in another room.”
But it’s worse there. There’s a dog with a fourteen pound head who snores and he wants to sleep with me.
Even Bossy Cat snores.

Every living thing in this house snored except Jake, my old (deceased) cat. There was no getting away from it. On a good night I can sleep through it all. On a bad night………Then my husband has the guts to complain that the frogs are loud!
