Good lord! The cat and my husband are BOTH snoring!

[davsand]

It isn't just the stereo affect--they are alternating!!!! It's kinda like Dueling Banjos only slightly less melodic!


Unless I kick somebody out of bed I may have to move to the sofa if I want to get any sleep tonight!

1. I envy you....really. nt

[davsand]

2. I'm not really whining. I think it is kinda funny.

I'm sorry if my attempt at humor fell short for you.

4. The post was cryptic, but might have been coming from a place like this...

...in the way of a "count your blessings" type of comment...

If that's the case, it's hard not to be sympathetic...

[snappyturtle]

18. No, no! I think it's funny; I was just jealous and feeling sorry for myself. nt

3. A pillow to the face! :)

If they are really snoring like you say, I would use it as a type of white noise. Focus on one, then the other...like a really weird metronome. Sometimes, if the sound is soft enough, I can use it to my advantage. If it is too loud, then ear plugs or the sofa. I have dogs and a cat that snore. So does my man...I do too on occasion.

5. I'll try turning on the fan before I start emptying the bed of its occupants.

I think everybody snores even if they won't admit it. Maybe not all the time, maybe not every night--but I think snoring is universal.


What amazes me is the duet nature of it! Cat. Man. Cat. Man. Cat. Man... They are riffing on each other!

7. I'm absolutely convinced that they synchronize on purpose...

...just to ANNOY you!1!!

[davsand]

10. They probably rehearsed it while I was out this afternoon at the gorcery store.

I would not put it past them.




Laura

12. OT: Where did you find a gorcery store?

I've been searching for one for forever, but all we have where I live are grocery stores.




Yeah, I know...

[davsand]

13. LOL! Now I'm showing how tired I am! n/t

8. Fan could work too.

What you are describing would probably cause me to giggle, which would keep me up anyway.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Can you record it?

[pinboy3niner]

9. Please, God, don't let this appear on Youtube

[davsand]

11. Not to fret. They both rolled over and now it is in tandem.

The cat missed a beat when the man rolled over and shook the bed. Now they are synchronized.

Isn't insomnia a wonderful thing?

14. Tell me about it!

I sack in, looking for a solid 8 1/2 hours of sleep.

I wake up, thinking at least 4 or 5 hours have passed--and discover it's only been 2. I can't go back to sleep, so the only productive thing I can think of to do...is to log onto DU.

Is there a therapy app for that?

[MiddleFingerMom]

15. I can't remember EVER having a cat that snored... I would LOVE it. I'd record it and...

.
.
.
... threaten to play it for her little cat friends any time she got too much attitude.
.
.
.
MiddleFingerMomMom and MiddleFingerMomDad BOTH rattled windows in their sleep. One would wake up and
nudgepunch the other and inform them that they had been doing so and had, in the process, woken the
other up.
.
BOTH of them had the same response... "AHHHH... y'probly woke YERSELF up."
.
Which was sometimes true,
.
And neither EVER admitted that they themselves snored.
.
.
.
The ex-MsMFM told me that the onliest time I ever snored was when I had had voluminous quantities of
alcohol... and then it was a really light "cute" (her word) snore.
.
.
.
I imagine now that I've put on quite a few more years and pounds, I'm somewhat higher on the Richter scale.

16. One time Donna was sleeping with her cat and her poodle on the bed with her.

It sounded like the Three Stooges.

[MiddleFingerMom]

17. I literally lol'd imagining that... ESPECIALLY seeing Donna as the one going, "HEE-BEE-BEE-BEE!!!"

[HopeHoops]

19. SUPER SOAKER TIME!!!!

[mnhtnbb]

20. Been there! Moving to another location is a good idea. Sigh.

[msanthrope]

21. It's worse when you have husband and black lab, snoring and farting in the same bed.

I go sleep in the guest room on those special nights...

[Lucinda]

22. I finally had to get a white noise machine.

It was that or murder.

[Wait Wut]

23. Years ago...

...I'd occasionally go camping with the kid, his dad and our two pitties. All four of them snored. One of the pits HAD to sleep with her head on my pillow and her arm around my neck so I got the full effect of her snoring.

I used to pray for thunderstorms to drown out the noise.

24. Look on the bright side. They could be both farting
