Warm Kitty

I noticed tonight that my cat's forehead and paws are very warm. She gave me a little kiss (licked my face) and I noticed her tongue was very warm. She is acting pretty normal otherwise, eating and playing. Not quite as energetic as usual but for the most part normal. Could this be a fever? I don't know if fevers present the same way in cats as they do in humans. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Is her nose warm too? That's been an indicator of temp for my cat Taz.

Hmm....I didn't feel her nose. She's napping under my bed right now (she does that all the time). When she comes out I will check. Thanks for mentioning that, I forgot that their nose can indicate how they are feeling.

How old is your cat? In older cats, hyperthyroidism can cause them to be extra warm.

Also, kitties often seem to be warmer, especially their mouths, after a long nap.

ears and nose being warm (as well as nose being dry) have usually been temps in all the kitties i have ever owned...

hope she is okay

I felt her nose last night and it was wet and cool so I think she is okay. The hyperthyroid thing is interesting. About a year ago the vet was doing some routine blood work and said she was positive for hyperthyroidism. I thought, that makes no sense, she's chubby! So we decided to watch her a little bit and see if she lost weight. I brought her in a couple of months later to be weighed and do blood work again and she was fine. They suspect it was just an error in the original test. She is still a little fatty so I doubt that's the problem. I will keep an eye on her. She seemed okay this morning when she jumped on me to get up and yelled at me to feed her!!
