@PrincessAphroditePAV My 4-mth-old kitten has the same problem too. I'm not sure if it's from the new food I have been feeding her for a week.

Doctor, my cat is having a hard time breathing. It's been four days. Today when I picked her up, it seemed to cause her discomfort. When she went down on the floor, her breathing was labored and seemed to be breathing from her mouth. She's 12 1/2 years old. She does sleep a lot.

@mluvese My vet said same thing but she was wrong!! His appetite stayed fine but his breathing got worse and worse. Now he is in the hospital on oxygen. I am so sad.

I'm in a smoker family, and my cat coughs as well. Im sure its from the second hand smoke. We try to keep it out of her way at all times. I don't want her to suffer our mistakes
