A normal cat takes between 20 to 30 breaths per minute, with a relaxed cat measuring on the lower end of the scale. Call your veterinarian if the rate is too rapid, or if your cat is panting â the latterâs not really normal in cats, at least not the way we see it in dogs.
A catâs body hums along at a temperature of 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit â a little higher than the normal human body temperature and about the same as dogs. A normal range is 100 to 102.5, so call your veterinarian if your cat's temperature is higher or lower than that.
