Cat Who 'Hates Mum's Snoring' Makes It Clear He's Had Enough
They may not be able to talk to you, but your pets definitely have their opinions — and they aren't afraid to show them. Like one cat online, who'd had just about enough of his owner's mom's snoring and decided to make his point in the funniest way possible.
Lauren Carson caught the whole thing on camera. We think her mom is going to rethink falling asleep in front of her cat ever again.
All the poor woman wanted was to get some shut eye — was that so wrong? The problem was that she was a bit of a snorer, and the gray cat her daughter had sort of noticed.

In the clip, the woman let out a few snores before the cat took things into his own hands (or should we say paws) and put his paw on her mouth to get her to stop.
"Owwww," the woman whined. Prompting the cat to strike her once again. "Oww!"
"He hates my mom's snoring," Carson joked in the caption. Mhmmm, he certainly does.
People online were laughing at how the cat *ahem* expressed himself. "He's saying stop the noise," joked one commenter. "The way he put his paw on her mouth a SECOND TIME LMAO," someone else added. "Looking at you like 'are you going to do something about this or am I?'" teased one person. "He looks at you and says 'well you’re clearly not gonna sort it so I'll paw it out now,'" another commenter chimed in.
Understanding Cat Body Language
It's pretty obvious what this cat was thinking, but most cat owners will agree that it's not always easy to tell how your cat is feeling. Learning a little about cat body language can help demystify the whole process.
Cats have a whole range of emotions that they express using their face, stance, tails, and even the noises they make. When a cat is frustrated, for instance, they will hyper focus on what's making them frustrated and won't let up until they get what they want. Their eyes will be wide open with dilated pupils, their ears will be forward, and their whiskers will be forward-pointing and spread.
In comparison, cats who are relaxed are usually lying down, stretched out, curled into a ball, or lying on their front with their paws tucked under them. Their eyes might be blinking slowly or will be half-closed.
You do need to give your cat a little bit of attention to understand what they're thinking. Or try placing your snoring family member in front of them — then you'll truly know.
