Panting after running
Hey guys, thought I ask for your opinions.
My cat pants for just a few seconds (4-5 seconds then stops) after running or jumping for 5-10mins. He has been castrated and the vet didn't mention any problems (our local vets AND the vets where he was "done")
I read that a cat panting could be a sign of a heart problem, but also it's normal to pant after a good exercise specially if the panting only lasts a few seconds. He doesn't pant when not playing at all.
Have bought him a new litter tray which should come this week and donating 2 old litter trays that we have to the local vets, so will ask them too, just wanted your opinions
Thanks!

Just counted his breathing.
Sleeping/not purring
What it should be : 30 breaths a minute What is Sampson's : 30-33 breaths a minute.
Purring
What it should be : 60 breaths a minute What is Sampson's : 55-65 breaths a minute.

Sampson sounds pretty normal to me.
I play fetch with my coonie where I sit at the top of the stairs and chuck the ball down to the bottom and he brings it back up. After about 6 or 7 runs none stop he lies down and has a little pant. Makes sense, i'd be panting if I ran up and down the stairs that many times!

Leo is a very energetic player of chase and eventually he gets tired and has a good panting lie down for a minute or two while his brothers take over. I think it's simple biology

awesome :D
Mine does free-running haha, I have a matress on it's side in my room (Instead of throwing it out, I use it as a punching bag for fitness, saved me £100's for a good bag!) well... my cat runs along it, on it's side, even spins around on it. I also got a huge box that my new pc came in too which he dives into. Basically his routine is...
Run on the side of the matress - Jump into box, play with the dog rope - jump out, jump on bed, run around and wrestle on bed - jump off to bed, run around under bed... and he does it a good 4-5 times before the 10 second pant comes, then he repeats till he flakes out for a few hours :P
