Cat with rapid breathing

Watching the rate of breathing is one of the simple observations that you can make on a pet cat at home. This cat has a problem known as "tachypnoea", which means rapid breathing. IF you watch her side carefully, you'll notice that her sides are moving much more quickly than a normal cat at rest. Her problem is being investigated, so the precise cause is under review, but it's most likely that she has "hyperthyroidism", caused by a benign tumour on her thyroid gland

as long as you've had your cat checked by the vet, that's all you need to do - some cats do breathe faster than others.....

It could be a sign of a heart murmur. My Ripley who is almost 25 years old has this and breathes heavily sometimes. I love her so much. I don't know what I'd do without her. Now that Ripley is older, I have to trim her nails every month because the sheathing doesn't come off by itself. She has accidents ever so often. But I gladly clean them up knowing she is like my best friend.

...my cat breaths much faster, and harder even when she's resting... Is she in danger? I took her to vet several times, and they keep saying she's perfectly fine...
