My 3 month old kitten is breathing quite fast while sleeping after a round of running around and playing. Currently the house is about 28.5 degrees Celsius, so its quite hot.
She also breathes with her mouth open but only after she runs for 15 mins straight.
She eats regularly and sleeps well, drinks water normally and is very very active.
Should I be concerned? What do you guys think, is it normal given the warm weather and physical activity?

Please take your cat to the vet right now.
Your cat might have heart problems or an infection so you ned to get help for your kitten as fast as possible.
If a cats breathing does not slow down after about five minutes when resting your cat needs help fast.
The heat in the house is a factor in this but probably not the only cause for your cat breathing this fast.
It is not unusual for cats to have periods of fast breathing during sleep but this is often after your cat have had vivid dreams so it will slow down quite fast when the dreams are over.
