It is normal for a cat to have a fast heartbeat. The normal heart rate of a cat is 120-140 beats per minute. It's normal for kittens to have a faster heartbeat because their body is metabolizing faster. Additionally, a cat's heart rate increases after exercise or under stress due to the release of adrenaline in the body. If the heart rate is elevated for a long time, cardiovascular system diseases, such as myocardial ischemia, need to be considered. In this case, you need to be taken to the hospital for B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram and other related examinations to determine the cause.

The causes of fast heartbeat in cats mainly include physiological reasons and disease reasons. Among them, physiological reasons mainly consider mood swings or strenuous exercise, among which mood swings include nervousness, restlessness, excitement and agitation. Generally, the heart rate returns to normal shortly after the associated stimulus or rest is removed.
