What is a healthy or normal heart rate for a kitten at rest?

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.

This is abnormal and concerning. A normal respiration rate for a cat is 24-42 breaths per minute and maybe slightly higher in a kitten, but not that high. Please have him seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Kittens can breathe quite rapidly, even when they are sleeping, especially if they are dreaming. As long as his breathing rate is able to slow to a more normal rate, like 30-50 breaths per minute, and he is otherwise acting normally (eating/drinking well with a good energy level), he will likely be just fine! If he even seems distressed with his breathing, or he is coughing or sneezing a lot, he should be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful!

A kitten's normal respiratory rate is between 20 to 40 breaths per minute, but it can be higher if they are awake and playing. The best time to measure Sadie's respiratory rate is while she is sleeping. Any other time, breathing can be confused with her purring or increased breathing from activity and play. Watch her while she is sound asleep, and count her respiratory rate then. If there is no increased effort while breathing, the rate is between 20-40 breaths per minute, her breathing is not noisy, and her eating, drinking, and activity is normal, then there likely is no problem. Good luck, I hope this helps!

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.

A normal heartbeat for a cat is around 140-220 beats per minute, but is usually on the lower end when resting. Cats normally have a higher temperature than people (Usually around 101.5 degrees F) so areas that do not have a lot of hair, will feel warm to the touch. As long as Charlie is acting normally, I wouldn't worry too much. If he is lethargic, vomiting, or having diarrhea I would schedule a check up at your veterinarian.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is considered very abnormal in a cat. Abnormal breathing in a cat can occur from conditions such as pneumonia, heart failure, asthma, bronchitis, among other possibilities. If her pulse (not respiratory rate) really is 70 bpm as you pointed out that is very abnormal for a cat and at the same time even if it was her respiratory rate it would also be abnormal. For that reason, I highly recommend that you have Marciella evaluated by your local emergency clinic or your veterinarian if open as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics include chest radiographs. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck!
