If its just for a short time when she's been racing around playing she's probably just out of breath but if its all the time or she gets out of breath easiy thats unusual.

Cats normally don't pant like dogs do and it may be a health issue that you should get checked out by a vet. They'll be able to listen to her breathing and heart and make sure she's OK.

my cat does that too, i think it is a sign that they are tired, my cat is an indoor/outdoor cat and when it is hot outside he pants, is your cat an indoor cat, or outdoor?? Although my cat doesnt breath heavy, you should have her checked out.
