CATDOLL : How many times does a cat's heart beat per minute?

Generally speaking, the normal heart rate of an adult cat is about 120 to 180 beats per minute. For kittens, their heart rate may be higher than that of adult cats. Generally speaking, when a cat is in a comfortable and stable state, its heart rate may decrease. When a cat is exercising vigorously or is frightened, its heart rate will increase. Of course, in this case, it usually returns to normal within one minute.

When measuring, we pet owners should try to avoid doing so when the cat is playing, angry, or nervous, because in such situations, they may increase the cat's breathing and heart rate, resulting in inaccurate measurements.
