A cat's rapid breathing and abdominal spasms may be caused by gastrointestinal discomfort or illness. Cats may also breathe rapidly after exercise, but their condition will gradually calm down. If a cat has ingested food that is difficult to digest, gastrointestinal upset can cause abdominal cramps. Cats with colds may also experience shortness of breath and abdominal spasms. If your cat exhibits any abnormalities, take it to the vet immediately.

It's also possible that the cat is sick. A cat with a cold will feel weak all over, its stomach will twitch when it breathes, and it may also sneeze. Owners need to observe their cats closely and take them to the vet immediately if they notice anything unusual. Inexperienced owners should not administer medication haphazardly.
Cats often breathe rapidly after exercise, and their abdomens may twitch; this is perfectly normal. Some people also experience a rapid heartbeat and noticeable abdominal twitching with their breathing after exercise. Don't worry, your cat's breathing will return to normal after resting.
