Hello! My cat pal Sonny Boy is a wonderful athletic orange tabby. He's a normal healthy boy, I got him when he was about 1 yr 3 mo, and now he's 4.
When we have a petting session, he starts purring while rapidly breathing in and out. When he's not purring he breaths normally. He shows no signs of difficulty breathing. I asked the vet and he said it's just his breathing pattern. I've seen cats that were overheated and they were panting at a similar rate, but it was clearly panting whereas this is just him breathing weirdly. Does anyone else have this, or have any insight?
