For the cats owners around here when they are sleeping do they snore. my little one snores. my oldest boy makes weird noises in his sleep and the girl well I never know where she is.

and the boys seem to move a lot in their sleep and have no idea what they are doing sometimes they knock things down or roll over and fall off when they sleeping on the window shill or the sofa.

Now what scares me is my little one has fancy sleeping on the top of the kitchen cabinets and with his rolling in sleep habit I wonder what I can do to safe his little life.
 
Yes, my cats snore especially the older ones.

I've watched my youngest cat sleep and he sleeps on his back tucked into my sofa chair with his paws and legs in the air. Usually when they move around they are dreaming. I once caught him sleeping on my kitchen table in the sun and he made some awkward movement and fell off the table. Cats always land on their feet. LOL.

If you don't want him sleeping on top of cabinets keep a spray bottle with water nearby and spray him everytime you see him there and give him a firm "NO". Getting them in the habit of not doing something you consider wrong is a different story.

The srapy bottle and no training with the little one its becoming very dificult. I have to get him right between the eyes. Most of the time they do land on thier feet. if they are prepared for the fall.

Right now he can't get up there i blocked him path cause he jumped on the counter to the fridge and then up top.

Keep enforcing the word no with the spray bottle and yell at him loudly. They will listen. I had to do this when my cats jumped in the empty bathtub to lick the water or open the shower door after I get out if it. Just keep doing it. If you let him do it a couple of times and then try to change it it won't work. This only confuses them. He is still young enough to learn how to change. Pets are almost like children. They need structure.
 
I've had cats my whole life, and they've all been great sleepers except for my rescue that I just got. However, I have seen a cat fall off the top of the stairs, fall 6 feet while still sleeping land on his back/side, and just get up (all embarassed) and just walk away. They seem a lot more fragile than they really are.
What I do to keep the cats off places I don't want them to be, put stuff there. Something heavier that they can't just move out of the way, like a potted plant. Or I would use your method, block their path.

Thanks, right now his path is blocked since I have my cereals on top of the fridge he was crying this morning to go up there.
 
Mine sleep on the bed with me. One makes wheezing noises, the other wakes me by headbutting me at 3 am for his tummy rubs. Sometimes both are on the bed, sometimes only one.

I've watched both cats stretch and roll off the bed while sleeping.
 
I have always had one cat. They are like kids, if you teach them manners then you will have a polite kid. I never allowed my cat to jump on to the kitchen table or on top of any tall cabinets, teach them when they are young and they will never want to go there. My cat has never had any sleeping problems, she rolls up like a little doughnut and sleeps comfortable. Never any noise or rolling around. She may stretch out and sleep in a different position, but never fall off the furniture.
 
All my cats have snored on occasion... most often when they were a little sick or as they aged.... although one of my current one's likes to play hard until he's exhausted, then he goes to sleep and tends to snore... guess 'cause he's so wiped out.

My first cat was a rescue via the SPCA and for the first year she would often have bad dreams (feet moving, head twitches, little meows... the whole works) then she'd wake up all frantic, take a good look around, calm down and go back to sleep... (kinda like "okay... it was just a bad dream... I'm in a good place")
 
my girl is just like me. loves men. always comes out to great a client . but other than that she sleeps until she is hungry . she sometimes meows in her sleep.

Preparing the dinner for tommorow was almost impossible they are all in the kitchen waiting for something to drop. and alot of NO yelling going on in there as I prepare the goat and ox tail, later I am going into to make the bbq sauce for the chicke, and jerk sauce for the pork and some chicken.

The older ones will never go in the kitchen unless invited. I just have to be more religious in training the little one.

I can't get Tonic to stop harrassing me for the tap when I am in the bathroom. he will bang in the back and on the head just he can get a sip.

Gin is in her own world expect when she hides behind the sofa and ruins it she knows that back there ic an't see and sometimes can't hear her. Like indigo was on top the cabient and she looked at me like i was nuts and walked away.

so I need to get order back in my house with this little guy.

Just discovered the other day that my female cat has ripped down the lining on the bottom of the boxspring..... apparently she likes sleeping in the "hammock" this created. The little beast!
 
Roo doesn't go for attention until I try and sleep and then she hops up on the bed and headbutts my arm until I scritch her ears.

Hannah likes curling up between my feet and Izzy is a bit of a wildcard. Sometimes she'll hop up on the bed and others she's sound asleep on the dining room chairs.
