What type of cat is mine, and is it normal for her to sleep a lot?

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Sleeping and decreased energy can be signs of a cat feeling unwell. This can be caused by weakness, fever, kidney disease, and other causes. It is a very vague sign that could be many many things. I recommend that you have Kitty seen by your vet, and they might want to do some bloodwork. Thank you and I hope Kitty feels better soon!

Hello, I am sorry for your concerns about Gulabo's behavior. If she is eating /drinking normally, having normal eliminations, & playful during her wake periods, then what you describe may just be her personality. It is very difficult to say if this is her way of life, or if there may be something to worry about. If you are at all concerned, it is always best to have a hands on exam done by your veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I hope all is well with her. Take care.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be normal as young kittens can sleep a lot. If he is otherwise doing well, he is likely fine and this is not anything important. However, if he develops any other symptoms such as lethargy, inappetence, vomiting or diarrhea, have him evaluated by a veterinarian. Best of luck!

I would have her looked at by a veterinarian. My concern if she is just laying around, has seen eaten? If not then her glucose can be dropping. She may be dehydrated. It is something where a veterinarian needs to evaluate her. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is normal for cats to slow down as they age. If you are concerned about your cats activity, I recommend having her seen by a vet to make sure she doesn’t have an underlying medical issue. You should also make sure your cat has not lost weight recently, as that is a common symptom of illness. A respiratory rate of 25 is relatively normal for cats, but if you think she is having trouble breathing, she should be seen by a vet immediately. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lethargy can be caused by a lot of things including an infection, inflammation, among other possibilities. This could also be normal in a kitten as they are not always very active at that age. If you think she is sick it would be best to have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Have a good night!

This may just be normal sleeping behavior for Coco so I don't think you need to be concerned. If she is otherwise acting normally I would just monitor. To err on the side of caution you could always schedule an veterinary examination for Coco just to ensure no health issues are going on. She is young so things like low thyroid, heart disease, or endocrine disease are unlikely, but not impossible. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
