Cat breathing very noisily!
5 Answers
Hi everyone,
Ever since we adopted our female tabby Lily from the RSPCA in November last year, we've noticed that she has very noisy breathing - if she's sitting still, most of the time it's like she's asleep and snoring - but she's wide awake!
We're worried she has asthma or something! What do you think?

One of the kitten (about 3 week old) that my husband saved from a construction site in Hong Kong grew up with heavy breathing.
When my husband found her, she was full of cement and had probably been eating cement. Her eyes were stuck closed which had to be forced opened and we found that one of her eye was damaged by cement, she pooed cement, and her fleas were sooooo big. I was told that she had to be put down 'coz she won't live, the vets will not even give her a single drop of "Frontline".
Decided to take her home and my husband gave her one drop of "Frontline", put her in our computer room with her own bed, food, water and a pooh tray...she's now 3 years old.
Her heavy breathing is obviously caused by all the unfortunate tragedy she had before.
Back to your question, get your vet to look at her. If there are no other problems that occur due to her breathing (i.e. weakness) I honestly think she is fine.

My cat breathes heavily sometimes, although not all the time, and it does sound like he's snoring. (He also actually snores a lot when he's asleep.) I asked the vet about it and he said it could be that the cat has an overlong upper pallet which vibrates when breathing if he's relaxed. He said it was absolutely nothing to worry about it.
