My cat sounds wheezy when purring and relaxed. Should I be concerned?

Question

My cat sounds like he is wheezing when he gets all loving and super relaxed. He has been as playful as ever and has just recently stopped drinking as much water. There are times when it worries me, but he seems to be in no discomfort and doesn’t make noise all of the time. Should I be concerned?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is normal for cats to sound more nasally when they are purring. My cat and I have heard other cats sound different in these loving situations. If he is not sneezing, doesn't have nasal discharge and isn't wheezing any other time I wouldn't worry! I hope this helps!
