Why is my cat's heart rate fast, breathing weird, and always snoring?
A cat's normal heart rate is between 120-220 beats per minute. It is normal that a cat's breathing rate can change while they are sleeping, it can increase and decrease in response to depth of sleep and any dream they may be having at the moment. Some cats do snore, but that is usually when they are asleep. It's not normal for a cat to snore when awake, and if he's done it since he was a baby, it could be that he has a congenital defect causing it. I would have Tota examined by a vet for this issue.
There is no need for you to measure his blood glucose, and you should not do that on Tota. It requires a blood sample from him, and that can be difficult to get from cats. A vet will be best to determine if and when he needs his blood glucose checked (i.e. if he has diabetes), and will do the test themselves.
