Is it normal for a cat to pant and purr?

It is normal for cats to pant and purr. Cats generally purr when they feel relaxed and comfortable, and cats' purring also has a certain self-healing effect. You can observe whether the cat has other abnormal reactions. If not, don’t worry. If the cat is in poor spirits, has a loss of appetite, etc., it may be physically uncomfortable, and you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination to avoid delaying the condition.
