Increased respiratory rate.

Shallow, rapid respiration is common in panting dogs but not in cats.

Under normal circumstances (meaning when you're at home), if your cat is doing open-mouth breathing, it is considered a serious emergency. Cyanosis.

Usually caused by lung and respiratory problems, breathing problems can also be indicative of other problems such as obesity, heartworms, tumours, heart problems, allergies, or injury and trauma. When your dog has difficulty breathing, you may notice fast, laboured breaths, a wide open mouth and an extended tongue.
