Cat wheezing

My two year old cat wheezes and snores when he sleeps or is very relaxed is this normal? Also what is the average weight for a two year old tabbi?

This really doesn't sound normal...especially if it sounds like your kitten is straining to breath in any way.

my cat did that too.....upper respiartory infection was what i was told

I found this discussion as I've just taken my 3 year old cat to the vet for wheezing and snoring - but only when relaxed, he's been doing it a while now. Vet said she couldn't find anything wrong - no temperature or blockage or anything and suggested the epiglottis/throat may be slightly irritated by something in his environment (eg smoking) making it swell and the hole slightly smaller. She gave him an anti-inflammatory injection and antibiotic, just in case.

Mine actually snore and if the house is dry their little noses sometimes whistle...

I have two heavy breathers/ snorers... they are both a bit overweight and one had a severe URI when younger and suffered some long term effects. He even breaths with his mouth slightly open when sleeping or relaxed. And they both are strong healthy cats.
