no its not normal, its a sign of having colds... you better bring you kitten to the vet so he can take a look in your cat while its not late and worst case yet, so he can give you some antibiotics too to stop and control it from being worst. one time when i just got my cats from a animal center one of them sneeze, so i thought that my cats immune system can take it but im wrong, i saw her like she cant breathe anymore so i take her to the vet and she was hospitalized for 5 days.. and yes better to do the checking now than doing it later it might just cost you lot of money than doing it early that way you can save some.. after that senario happen i always keep antibiotics in my house so everytime my cats sneeze and i feel like there sick i give them medicine to control it from becoming worst. and next time just an advice do not buy cats from the pet store better to adopt that way you do really help those animals that really in need of a loving home and family at the same time mostly of them are readily adoptable, sprayed/nuetured and vaccinated so you dnt have to worry of anything else.. mostly pets from pet store are sick...

A kitten is normally quite active and then will "crash" for a little nap. She most likely has a viral infection. It may resolve itself. You must be very aware if you see that she is having trouble breathing or stops eating.
If this happens she should go to a vet right away.

If she sleeps inside the house it might be because its to cold for them. That used to happen to my kitten until I put him out in the garage.

Take her to the vet as she may have picked up a chill

coughing, wheezing, sneezing, and eye and nose discharge, lethargy,loss of appetite.is mainly how you tell if they are in resperatory distress along with labored breathing.
