Heya
To kick this off, I just want to make it clear that I have taken both my kitties to three different vets and they didn't see anything wrong with them--so I turn now to the internet.
My cats are breathing funny, and occasionally having weird fits of coughing/wheezing.
By breathing funny I mean their nostrils will whistle or I can audibly hear every single breath they're taking and one of them, not the other, pants pretty much all the time.
All the vets I've taken them to have stated there's nothing they can hear wrong with their heart/lungs and one told me it must be hairballs so I started them on hairball treats and they both coughed up hairballs but their condition remained the same.
They are both eating, pooping and acting fine 99% of the time but I can't stand the 1% of the time when they are coughing/panting/sniffling/snorting.
If anybody has any ideas, please hit me with them 'cos I'm at a loss, my vet is at a losss and I don't like listening to my cat breathing weird while she's in my lap or seeing the other one panting.
One is almost a year old, the other is 8 years old, both are spayed/neutered, have all their vaccines and are strictly indoor.
