Why do cats breathe rapidly and have their bellies rise and fall so fast? If this situation occurs, it is still necessary to consider disease or non-disease factors. Because this situation may occur if other people have recently visited the home or if the stress response caused by the cat being in a new environment. Also, when cats engage in vigorous activities such as parkour or play, they may experience rapid breathing and a rapid rise and fall of their bellies. All these are normal.

However, it should be noted that diseases such as heatstroke, heart disease, and pulmonary edema in cats can also cause rapid breathing and a rapid rise and fall of the abdomen.
