- Check for any signs of discomfort or illness, such as vomiting or lethargy.

- If you're concerned, it's better to consult with a vet for peace of mind.
Sometimes, cats may just be tired or have had an unusually active day and choose to rest in an unexpected spot. However, if she's not moving or seems unwell, it’s important to keep an eye on her for any other symptoms such as lack of appetite, vomiting, or breathing difficulties. Cats often disguise discomfort, so catching these early signs can be crucial.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
