My recently adopted shelter/rescue cat (her name is Piper) coughs only when “making biscuits” (kneading a blanket) while purring. However, when she purrs any other time while not kneading, she doesn’t cough at all.
This happens to any blanket she does this on, I at first thought maybe the fiber/making of the original blanket was the cause, but she does it no matter what blanket it is.
I took her to the vet and she was deemed healthy lung wise and doesn’t have kennel cough either. She did have urinary issues and a GI upset which were treated and she’s currently on urinary food as directed by her vet. Would these two things have any correlation or is she maybe purring too hard?
I’ve also considered she might have a hair ball that won’t come out, would giving her something for that be a good idea just to make sure?
She has another upcoming appointment with the vet to check up on her urinary crystal problem and GI upset issues, I’ll be speaking about the cough again there too but would like to see if anyone else experienced something similar.
