This is Artemis. I've had her since she was a kitten, and I honestly can't even tell you how much she means to me. She is my closest companion...my baby. Anyways, I was checking her respiratory rate, just out of curiosity and it seems that she's averaging about 16-17 breaths per minute. Should this be a concern? I found that most sources say 20-30 breaths per minute is normal range, although I did find one source that said 16-30 is normal, and another that said anywhere between 16-42 is normal. Am I just being too anxious? Is 3-4 breaths under what's considered normal really a big deal?
She has always been a noisy breather, ever since she was a kitten. I was told she was part manx, and she's always had kind of a flat face and a squished in nose. She almost sounds as if she's snoring while she's awake, and it's louder when she's sleeping. Right this minute she's sleeping next to me, snoring up a storm.
