Hi. My cat has hyperactive spurts of energy and pants shortly afterwards. The hot weather we're having is not helping either. He doesn't have any discoloration in his oral mucosa when this happens. I have only noted one or two wheezes when he stops suddenly after running around. He keeps up with the hyperactivity for sometimes 5-15 minutes after starting to pant. He EVENTUALLY does calm down but not as soon as I would prefer.
We have tried ignoring him (only while he is hyperactive), bringing food/water closer to possibly distract him, and holding one of his toys up to get his attention. None of these work very effectively.
I am not concerned with him medically but how can I calm him when he is doing this? Any advice would be so appreciated!
