Sorry for posting again so soon, but I just thought of another question I had.

I'm really worried that Milky might have a health problem or maybe it's nothing major but just wanted to see if anyone here maybe knows something about it...

Milky suddenly makes strange noises with his mouth. It sounds like when humans are moving our tongue around and hitting it off the top of your mouth whilst opening and closing your mouth, kind of like you're eating something. The only difference is that when he makes this noise he opens his mouth quite a bit like he's trying to eat and it sounds like he's breathing from his mouth (but I'm not 100% if he is or not) and it sounds quite dry like I can hear the papillae scratching against his throat as if it's dry?? We've only seen him doing it twice so far and both time it's been in the middle of the night and probably lasts for one or two minutes...

I'm wondering if it's too dry in my apt at night time recently because I something wake up with a dry throat...

Any ideas what it might be??? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!!

Thanks. I will try to catch it on camera next time.

I've finally found it on youtube. It's like what this cat does near the end of the video.

Is that normal??

Cat Smacks Lips - YouTube like this?

Yes JillianS, exactly like that. Sorry I didn't see your post until after I posted mine up!

Everything at home is the same as always. He gets the same food, play etc as normal. We only have guests over on the rare ocassion, and haven't had any recently, so it shouldn't be that.

If I don't see it happening again, I'll leave it for the next vet visit. He is almost due a yearly vaccination anyway.

Thanks so much for your help.
