Cat Breathing

[CatLover49]

Could someone please post a video of their cat breathing at rest
.I would post video..but my phone wont do it on the site for some reason
Ive been seeing my cat breathing like I could see his stomach going up and down
I listened with my ear on him and it sounds like a baby's heart beat on an ultrasound
Does that sound normal???
Ive contacted my vet
Its not like hes gasping for breath and his mouth stays closed
Im sorry to ask you all for a video
I just want to see ure cat breathing at rest and compare to my cats breathing
Like said ive contacted the vet
Waiting on their call back

Last I knew was that an upgrade on this site has prohibited videos from uploading. Not sure if that is your issue or not. If you use YouTube you can upload a video there and then post here with a link to it and that will work.

You can also count the respirations yourself.
"A normal cat respiratory rate (number of breaths per minute) is 16 to 40 breaths per minute. Normal respiratory rates are assessed when the cat is at rest. To count your cat's breathing rate, watch the rise and fall of the body wall (rib cage) as the cat is lying down or sitting. Start your count from zero. Count for 30 seconds and then multiply by two."

Thank you so much

If you can't do the YouTube video, try the respiration count and see what you come up with. Then, let us know!

When he is dead asleep count his breathes for 15 seconds and multiply by four. 16-40 is normal but the lower is better, over 30 consistently might mean breathing problems
Has snowball had his heart checked? My cats stomach shows he is breathing because he has CHF and heart issues. They need to take a chest xray and ecchocardiagram for his heart to determine
