This post is a brief update on something I think everyone in the world absolutely needs to know regardless of who you are or what matters to you.
My cat snores.
And it’s like tiny, soft grunts.
Imagine a cloud panting really slowly.
Or a mildly intimidating pillow.
She’s so little and pure and good that I could almost forget she has knives in her feet and likes to steal my slippers and throw them around the room.
This brief, low-effort post was brought to you by me getting offered a job! I’m celebrating first by taking a brief break from writing so I can smile and reconsider if, as I once believed, the world is just a cage in which we are meant to suffer and scream and stick our hands through the holes in the fence only for them to be chopped off by some cosmic zookeeper.
Regular, feature-length, garden fresh posts resume tomorrow!

Congratulations on being offered a job. My cat doesn’t snore. My dog does, though. And my wife claims that I, too, snore, although I’ve never heard myself snore, so she might be making that up.

Thank you! I’ve also heard that I might snore a little, but I believe these are attempts to sabotage my reputation and sully my good name. I’ve no doubt the same is happening for you

It’s a vast right-wing conspiracy.

Actually, I pretty much prefer dark posts about snoring cats to garden-fresh posts. Your cat looks broken. Mine not only snores but probably has nightmares too because she growls in her sleep.

She’s definitely a little broken. I might have to reboot her or take her to the cat repair shop. Your poor cat! I’ve heard mine growl in her sleep, but I think she’s just dreaming of being a tiger

Firstly congratulations on the new job. Secondly, the snoring cat newsflash is surreal. As is the growling. I wonder what they dream of? Not going to be able to get this out of my head…

Thank you! The job and the cat snoring are both very exciting, and I dearly hope she’s dreaming of being a tiger or a puma because she’s a very small cat that has, on occasion, been defeated by a bit of string dangling from a smoke detector.

A piece of string? Ah, perhaps make the string a little longer to spare her feelings.

More recently she’s been battling a fluffy thing with springy plastic bits attached to a stick, so her prey has been ramping up

Congrats on being offered a job! And now I need to get a cat for the sole purpose of seeing whether or not it will snore. See what you have done?

Thank you! I encourage everyone to invest in cats. They are quite nice and often make small sounds

Congratulations on your new job! I don’t have a cat, but I used to have a dog that moved it’s legs in a running motion while sleeping. Pretty sure she dreamt about chasing cats. But then again….how would I know what she was thinking or dreaming? 🤔

Thank you! Maybe my cat wasn’t actually snoring, and she was actually sleep growling at dogs that were sleep chasing her. We may never know, but it’s quite silly to watch and listen to
