Question

Excessive purring, lethargic, just not normal behavior for my cat. What could it be?? Pet's info: Cat | Norwegian Forest Cat | Male | neutered | 8 years and 9 months old | 17 lbs

Sometimes cats will purr excessively when they are having trouble breathing. Purring can also occasionally be a sign of pain. If you feel Stubbs might be having difficulty breathing you should see a vet right away. Otherwise I think you could monitor him for another day or so but if he still seems lethargic and not himself you should have your vet examine him.
