If Your cats respiratory rate is 45 breaths per minute should you be worried?

Not necessarily. A cat can breathe and purr quite comfortably at that rate. However, if the cat appears uncomfortable, is breathing with its mouth open, has gums that are not pink, or otherwise appears to be in distress, medical attention would be wise.
