Hi, this is my first posting on the site. I have read through previous threads and have found items only mildly similar to what I am asking. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated :wink:
I have two cats, brother-TJ and sister-Lily, who are about a year old, give or take, and in the past few days I have noticed either one (at different times) kind of coughing or wheezing. I have been around cats who "hock up" hairballs but their noises sound different. TJ just had an "attack", if you will, last night around 2am. He was sleeping on the bed next to me and I woke to him making the coughing sound, almost like he is short of breath, or...it is hard to describe in text. This type of symptom has occurred only a hand full of time with them combined, however I do not want to wait on taking them to the vet if it could be something of concern.
As I said earlier, any suggestions would be sincerely helpful. Thanks to everyone
