Hey guys, so I have 2 indoor cats who are healthy and happy.
Yesterday I noticed my female cat doing this motion, linked in the video below.
Its like an over exaggerated chewing motion or acting like she has something in her mouth she's trying to remove?
It's been almost impossible to get a good look in her mouth with her wriggling and moving her tongue about when I try, the times I've tried I don't see anything immediately obvious like a wound, foreign object etc.
She's otherwise acting, drinking eating and using the litter tray perfectly normal. Eating both dry food, soft pouch food and treats just fine.
She does moult a lot, I try brush her as often as I can. Yesterday when she was at her peak doing this motion, she also gagged like she was about to vomit, my assumption is that she may be waiting to regurgitate a hairball?
She hasn't seemed to have done it anywhere near as much today, I've kept watch on her all day literally!
(I'm getting her booked in the vets first thing in the morning)
