says that the normal cat heartbeat is 160-240, not 110-140 as you say.
Thanks for your input, Mark. I guess it depends on the expert of your choice. Drs. Foster & Smith say 110-140. Saundra Sample, D.V.M. says 140-160. Dr. Mike Richards says the normal pulse rate is 110-130, with a MAXIMUM heart rate of 240. So you can see, even the experts disagree.
