The wheezing and purring of kittens is not asthma, but the sound made by the vibration of the vocal cords. Cats will purr briskly when they feel satisfied, or when they are lying in the arms of their owners, relaxed and happy. But if it keeps snoring for a long time, it may be injured.

The kitten’s panting and purring represent comfort

The wheezing and purring of kittens is not asthma, but the sound made by the vibration of the vocal cords.

From a medical point of view, the skeleton of cat throat is composed of thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage. The laryngeal cavity is divided into 3 parts, the upper part is the laryngeal vestibule, and the trailing edge is the false vocal cords. The cavity between the false and true vocal cords is the second part of the laryngeal cavity. The third part is the cavity between the vocal cords and the cartilage ring, which is very narrow.

A cat’s purr is a sound produced by resonance in the throat cavity when the falsetto cord vibrates. In fact, cats are not asleep when they snore. Cats do not snore when they are playing, when they are nervous, or when they are really asleep. A cat will purr briskly only when it feels satisfied, or when it is lying in its owner's arms, relaxed and happy.

At this point, adult cats and Persian cats are more prominent, while kittens generally rarely snore. Persian cats snore because of their short nasal passages, but adult cats purr with satisfaction because they know how to enjoy feline life and understand human caress and intimacy better.

The kitten that keeps purring may be injured

Pet medical experts say that kittens’ purring can play a role in self-healing. Kittens purring when they are scared, anxious, or injured or in pain can soothe themselves and release the pressure of pain. Therefore, if the dog has been snoring for a long time, the scavenger should pay attention to check. It may be injured.
