Answer 1

I can't tell you what is wrong, but I can tell you that she needs to see a vet. Any kind of breathing trouble in a cat is serious and you need to have her seen at once!

And please get her spayed!

Answer 2

I think she may have a respitory problem or digestive track problem. Which are very common in cats.

I would take it to the vet.

Its very possible that you cat HAS eaten something that is poisonous. Don't see how the insecticide COULDN'T cause it, but the ASPCA is usually pretty educated on things like that. Just keep her comfy, make sure she has lots of water, and don't let her freak out or run too much. She could also be having an allergic reaction to something that cats normally don't have a reaction to. My Tom Cat is allergic to pine trees, so we can't have a real Christmas tree because he starts panting and gets irritated skin when we bring one into the house.

I could be the common hairball. Another possibility is that it is some kind of dislocation or break. If your cat has fallen and landed in an strange position, she may have hurt herself.

Answer 3

I'm not accusing anyone...but it sounds like it was abused and/or neglected. Take it to the vet ASAP!!!!

Answer 4

As a nurse I will tell you this sounds like an airway obstruction. It can be from illness/inflammation, or from something stuck in there or even a tumor. Is she eating? Can you put your ear on her chest and listen to the breathing to see what it sounds like? If it is wheezy or rattling? Is her nose and are her gums pale or bluish? This sounds very serious either way and you need to take her to a vet at least for an exam. You can always refuse treatment or have her put to sleep if necessary, but it is better to know what it is. Is there an SPCA near you? Or a Humane Society clinic? Sometimes they are more affordable. Or try a small country type vet rahter than a large clinic. They are usually cheaper.
