It sounds like your cat may have been affected by exposure to the vape smoke and is now acting more lethargic than usual. This change in behavior can be concerning, especially if it persists.
- Exposure to vape smoke can affect pets in different ways.
- Lethargy in cats can be a symptom of upper respiratory irritation or other issues.
- It's important to monitor your cat's condition closely after such exposure.
In small environments, vaping can create an atmosphere where the chemicals in the vapor might irritate your cat's respiratory system or otherwise affect her behavior. If she continues to be lethargic, it's best to consult a veterinarian to ensure her safety and health. Keeping your cat away from any smoke or vapor sources in the future is advisable, as cats have a sensitive respiratory system that can be easily affected by airborne substances.
