I noticed recently my cat has bern sighing a lot lately. It is usually while/when he lays down. It sounds more like a sigh of boredom to me rather than pain. Everything else seems to be normal. Anyone else’s cat do this?

Feeby (15+ yo) generally does this when she is laying on my lap to take a nap. I have always thought that it meant contentment (egotistical me, I guess). It's funny because if I do it when she is on my lap, she'll do it too! If she does it at other times during the day/night, I don't know. At her age, she could be bored; but she is pretty laid back and not too interested in playing. However, I have noticed more of her wandering around looking to get into stuff when I think she is actually that bored.

Hi, it's nice to meet you. I have never heard my cats sigh, though I have heard dogs do this frequently. It will be interesting to see responses from other members.

I don’t think it is boredom or pain. I think it is more a sign of contentment and relaxation. There is often a sigh or deep breath just before a cat closes their eyes for a nap.

When my cat was a kitten she would get in a corner and pout when she was mad. It was so funny to watch. If she knows she's done something bad,she will crouch down low with her tail strait back and walk fast. I love the way cats personalities are so different!
