Everyone may already know this but I did not. A normal cat will take 20-30 breaths a minute. When your cat is in labor her breathing will get more rapid (so i have heard). So everyone that is wondering if there cat is in labor (including myself LOL) if they are taking a lot more breaths than 20-30 a minute it could be a sign they are in labor. I dont know if this information will help anyone or not but I thought it may make it easier for me if my cat was in labor. It may not either, I dont know. Just thought I would share it with everyone else.
