Is my cat's heart rate normal? Why are my cat's ears hot near AC?

That sounds a bit low. The normal rate is about 140-220 beats per minute. I don't think I would be overly concerned with 80 as long as the cat was resting at the time. I suggest you take it at varying times during the day and make an average. If you notice that on average, it is below 65 then I would suggest taking him to the vet for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

i wouldn't be worried if just his ears are warm. He is likely just flushed. If you are really concerned take his rectal temperature and if that is above 102.5 degrees F, then I would be concerned that he may have a systemic infection and require medical attention. Otherwise, he is likely fine.

The heart rate can change quite a bit depending on the cat's activity and it's normal for their heart rate to be lower when they are sleeping. A heart rate of 110 is fine for a sleeping cat and a low heart rate is rarely a concern unless there are signs of a decrease in activity or other signs of a problem like fainting. Otherwise, I would not worry about this and it would be good to note this as normal for future reference. I hope that helps and all is well with Kitty.

At rest it could be easily around 180-200 beats per minute. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

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.

Cats paws can feel warm to us because a cat's normal body temperature is higher than ours, between 99.5 - 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have any worries that your cat is running a [fever](https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-common-causes-of-fever-in-pets), you can always get a [rectal temperature](https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-take-your-pet-s-temperature-in-7-easy-steps/) (if he will let you!). But if he is acting normal and there is no [vomiting](https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/vomiting/), decreased appetite or diarrhea, he is probably fine.

The hot and red ears could be indicative of a fever in Toody, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. Given that this symptoms disappears and everything else seems to be normal, I would keep an eye on him for now. Should this happen again, I would have him seen by a vet for a health check. Don't worry about his nose, a cat's nose is not used an an indicator of illness. A cat's nose can go from wet and cold to warm and dry just by lying in the sun or near a heat source.
