Wheezy cat
My kitty samson is getting up there in age (he’s 8, mixed breed, neutered) and recently I noticed that he’s been weezing a lot. I’ve had him since I was young so he’s always, until recently, been an outdoor/indoor kitty. Now he’s stictly indoors since I’ve moved two months ago. At first when he was weezing I thought it was hairballs, but I’ve never seen him throw up. He just gets really low down to the ground, sticks his tongue all the way out and starts coughing. I pet him for a little while and then he’s okay. He doesn’t seem to be bothered about his little “ritual” after he’s done at all. I’ve tried giving him hairball medicated food and treats and tried to brush him on a regular basis and what not, but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Does he just have hairballs? Or could it be something more serious?
