My kitty slept like this all the time. She has since passed but she wasn't in pain, I never understood how she breathed tho but she did. When they are in pain they hide or they lay in the meatloaf position and don't look comfortable, Your baby looks very happy and content sleeping that way.
She's not breathing slow, it's normal rate, it's just slightly more abdominal than normal.
Hopefully she will respond to the steroids so that she won't need anymore vet visits for a while! Then she will stop giving you dirty looks behind your back!
I just hope it's not a heart issue....I know she isn't breathing slow, I was describing my old girl
I honestly think allergies/mild asthma is the most likely cause...especially after all these tests etc. Try not to stress and to stay positive 
Thanks, my worst fear is that the process of elimination leads us to heart issues... I'm monitoring her breathing very carefully.That all sounds like really good news to me
She will drink some tuna water and I'm mixing some tuna with her wet food to see if sheStay calm. She'll definitely pick up on your anxiety, and that won't help anything. I know it's far easier said than done, but do your best - fake calmness if you have to
If she'll eat from your hand, try hand feeding her. It's a slow process, but she does need to eat. Warming the food can help too. If all else fails, try her on some plain cooked meat...or even some tuna or plain meat baby food. [article="32998"][/article][article="33011"][/article]
How's her breathing today?
She ate straight tuna and some dry raw duck breast treats I have for them. I'm so scared the breathing plus now this inappetance is symptomatic of heart disease. She had no fluid in her chest and her X-ray and ekg were normal, but hypertrophic cardiomyopathy wouldn't show on an X-ray anyway. I would have to travel 2+ hours for a cardiac ultrasound.
That's why I'm suggesting that you speak to your vet again. I've never seen your cat, and I have no veterinary training. Your vet really is the best person to advise you...and a phone call may be all that's necessary.
She's only been to the vet once this week. She's an ok traveller just extremely nervous, curls up in a ball and is very scared in the carrier, I would have to give her something. I've phoned the vet about her not eating this morning, I hope she has eaten today.... I've left food out for her and my other cat is segregated to get a urine sample, so I will be able to see if she's eaten.
