has she been coughing up hair balls in the past? sometimes when a cat will cough a lot they might be trying to cough up hair balls.

she has never cough up hair balls but might be tring to, but they mihjt be just going though her butt part, shes eating real good

i know it's expensive but i would say get her checked out. b/c it can be something more seriouse then you know.

she might have an upper respratoy (SP) infection and she just needs meds call the humane sosiety and ask them for help. or if any vet will exept payments

If she never coughed up a hairball then she might be trying to. They also salivate trying to get it up. Eating is a good sign. However buy hairball medication and give her. Some people use vasoline but I don't think that is tasty. Cats and rabbits can get a very big hairball trapped in their stomach. Usually produces less eating.

you cant imagine how many animals are having this problem right now. it's probably just an allergy problem, a lot of cats get this time of yeasr because the furnace is on and windows are closed. You can give childrens benedryl, see if that works before taking to a vet. Start with like 1/2 a teaspoon and if that sedates, which it might, then back off to 1/4 of a teaspoon until u find a dose thats appropriate for her. all animals are different. If she gets tired afterwards, dont worry, just back it off a little next time.

I have a cat who coughs also. she does it at nite. But I listen to her chest and her breathing. She eats , never had a hair ball either. but the cough isnt all the time. I will call my vet tomarrow and ask.
