My cat breathes funny while resting. Should I be concerned?

Question

Hey there! I’m concerned about Tiger’s breathing. When he’s casually resting or relaxing he breathes through his nose funny, like maybe a snore? But he doesn’t do it while sleeping I believe. The vet I took him to said his lungs were completely healthy and it could just be a personality thing. Should I be concerned? He eats fine, drinks fine, and goes to the bathroom fine as well. He’s also a very active cat, but I can’t tell if he’s snoring or he has an issue with breathing! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 2 months old | 9 lbs

It could be nothing or it could be the beginning of a little kitty cold. This may be especially true if you are seeing sneezing, squinting, and runny nose. The good points are that if Tiger is eating, drinking, playing, and using the litter box normally, his overall health is probably good. Hope this helps and best wishes to you and Tiger!
