Need diagnosis - Is it gastrointestinal (trying to expel hairball?) or is it respiratory in nature? cat has normal appetite and gets these episodes of "coughing" once or twice per day for past 3 days. Each episode lasts about a minute. Cat is shedding lots of hair.
Thank you for your help! Marty
that is a minor asthma attack. Your best bet would be to take him to the vet.
If you can't afford it, or if it doesn't happen often or last for very long you can try switching to a less dusty litter, vacuum and dust more often and try to avoid burning candles. Basically anything that might trigger an asthma attack in a human you want to avoid doing around your kitty.
This is only advice, a vet would be the most sound option as there is medication that can lessen and even completely cure it.
