I noticed recently that my cat Yoshi has been breathing kind of hard lately while hes sleeping his stomach while rise and then drop pretty fast ..I timed his breaths per minute and its 46 breaths per minute, is this normal for a cat, he just turned 1 years old last month.

It is not normal. 20-40 breaths a minute is normal.  Please consult a vet.
