Title: Kitten Panting
Post by: siou2 on September 07, 2014, 11:16:05 AM

Hi,

got a new kitten a week ago, fitting in well so far.  Just 1 thing, when he's been playing really hard, usually with a da bird toy I have, he sits and pants for about a minute.  I've never seen a cat do that unless stressed or going vets, what's going on?

He was at the vets' on fri for a checkover & 1st injection.  Vet said he was fine and he's running round like a berk atm, any ideas?   :thanks:

Nothing to worry about,  just means he's had a good workout and now wants to rest. Keep that up every day especially before you go to bed you will have a happy healthy mog and you will get some sleep. ;D
