Anyone who owns a cat [1] knows that once nighttime rolls around, all bets are off. Just last evening, my gaggle of kitties dug all the dirt out of my potted plant [2] and promptly used it as a litter box. Classic, right? And while our cats' antics are hilarious — and annoying — a guy who goes by Greed on Twitter had a bigger problem: he was having trouble breathing while asleep [3].
In an effort to get to the bottom of a potentially dangerous health issue, he set up a camera to see what was causing the problem. Much to his surprise, the culprit happened to have four paws and a tail [4]. He shared his findings to Twitter on July 21 with the caption, "I couldn't breathe when I slept so I installed a camera" — and it promptly blew up. So far, the tweet has amassed 1.2 million likes and more than 313,000 retweets. Apparently, Greed isn't the only person who's experienced near-death by cat, as a ton of other pet owners chimed in with their own experiences! Read through to take a look.
