It's quite alarming when they chuck a hairball isn't it? Merlin looks as if he's going to chuck his entire insides out. Dylan may have got something else caught, other than a hairball and whatever it was, it's lucky he managed to get it up - shame he swallowed because you'll never really know - although thinking about it, if it was a hairball I doubt if he would have swallowed it. (Does that make sense?) |

Yes, makes sense to me. I've never known a cat to swallow a fur ball either, it always comes out the front end! It may have been a bit of food stuck in his windpipe. I'd probably not worry unless he does it again. I groom Leia every night; not that she really needs it being shorthaired, butt she looks forward to it...bonding session. |

I hope he won't do it again although I have known Beauty to somehow swallow either a furball or a lot of fur (that was part of what caused the first lump in her bladder if you all remember from a thread a while ago) |

Could be a hairball, you could get some hairball remedy from your vet. However, I notice you are in Yorkshire?? According to our dog trainer, kennel cough is really rife around these parts at the minute and Bordatella that causes kennel cough is transmissible to cats. So just a thought if it persists and doesn't settle with hairball remedy or the expulsion of hairball. Obviously this would be unlikely if you don't have dogs or contact wth dogs. Hope all goes well for your cat. |

He hasn't coughed at all since I posted, sneezed once (and that was earlier on today) but is purrfectly normal behaving. |

It happened a couple more times since I posted about it, we think it's either Dylan eating his food too fast or cat milk that's the problem. |
