I'd like to create this topic as a repository of some general (health) stats regarding felines. For starters: What's the normal heart rate (range) for an adult cat? What's the normal heart rate (range) for kittens? What's the normal respiration (range) for an adult cat? What's the normal respiration (range) for kittens? What's the normal temperature (range) for an adult cat? What's the normal temperature (range) for kittens?

Don't know heart rate and respiratory rates, but temps I do know.
Normal temp for a cat is between 101-102.5. This can be a bit higher
if the cat is upset, or excited. Anything over 103 should be brought
to the vet's attention immediately.
