Your cat's unusual noises and prolonged lying flat on her stomach could indicate that something is wrong, especially if this is not her usual behavior and the sounds are unlike anything you've heard before.
- Monitor her closely to see if other symptoms develop.
- Consider how long this behavior persists.
- Evaluate whether professional help is needed if she's not improving.
Cats can sometimes make unusual noises or lie in different positions for various reasons, including discomfort or pain. If your cat typically is more active and is suddenly quiet and making unusual sounds, it could be a sign that something is bothering her. It's worth considering a vet check-up to ensure there's no underlying issue.
