Although uncommon in cats, snoring does occur from time to time in short-nosed breeds and it isn’t anything to worry about. That is, unless the cat is trying to prowl around at night. It’s terribly hard to sneak up on your prey if they hear the rattle of your “nasally repetitive” nose, from 30 meters away. To complicate matters, human snoring disrupts activities for nearly every household feline in the world. But what can be done about it?
According to sources, Socks the Cat, whose human is Senator Hillary Clinton, is trying to get a bill introduced to Congress which would put snoring in its place - far away from where anyone can hear it! Under this new bill, any kind of nocturnal sounds emitted by humans or animals would be prohibited, ensuring night-time silence that encourages good sleep and good hunting. This would include a mandate that all must stop snoring. Under the anti-snoring bill, snorers would be forced to take measures to end their snoring and pay fines including restitution to victims. Restitution should include the cost of earplugs and other sound-proofing devices.
Considerations about snoring:
- Over 7,384 jobs a year are lost because of snoring at work
- In Massachusetts and Louisiana, snoring is already against the law — unless all windows are closed and securely locked.
- In Davis, California, a local noise pollution law was enacted to prevent noise from loud parties, but it has also been enforced against a woman whose neighbor complained that she snored too loudly.
