All new moms need to sleep. They often don’t do enough of it, even if they’re technically “able” to; having a child is worrisome. It can be really hard to manage to put your mind to rest when your baby is always so vulnerable.

Apparently, that’s a universal truth. Everyone can relate, from humans to dogs, and even cats. Motherhood is crazy, so when you can fit in a good nap, you’d better go for it!

Recently, one new Maine Coon mom learned this lesson. Her fresh new litter of kittens were fully content to nurse and nap, and she took the opportunity to rest her eyes. What ensued was the cutest little snore you’ll ever hear in your life:

Greek Garden Maine Coons has such beautiful kittens. This will be the last of their summer/autumn litters; they’re slowing down for the winter to give the kittens some time to grow. Plus, obviously, they want to cuddle them before they all go onto their forever home!

These kittens are the product of their mom, Calliope, and a beautiful orange Maine Coon named King Triton. They were his last; he was retired, neutered, and will now live as just a regular cat in their home!

Calliope wasn’t confined to a box while giving birth, which a lot of people do just to keep everything (including the mess) contained. She was allowed to free-roam and decided to give birth under her mom’s desk while she was working from home.

Luckily, everybody is perfectly happy and healthy. They seriously make some of the cutest orange kittens ever:

Pumpkin litter? Yes, please. I’ll take one million of them. I will take every single cat you’d ever had, immediately.

Cats Snoring Can Be Totally Normal

This mama Maine Coon is snoring just a little while she naps with her babies. When we think cats, most of us don’t necessarily think snoring: that’s more of a dog thing. However, snoring in cats can be completely normal. There are lots of reasons a cat might snore, like:

2. Having a “flat” face, like Persian cats.

3. The way they’re sleeping is weird.

It can be a symptom of something more, like a respiratory infection, so you should keep an ear out when you notice it. If it gets super loud or persistent, you should take them in to see the vet.

In Calliope’s case, she was sleeping sitting up. Additionally, she just had babies: she’s probably put on some extra weight! Leave my girl alone!
