Does anyone have any idea why or what causes Thomas to get phlemgy when he purrs? When he sits in my lap and is purring away, he starts to sound like he has a bunch of phlegm in his throat, and he starts to choke or swallow it back really hard. He never coughs or anything, just the sound and the hard swallowing. It doesn't happen at any other time, and normally he sounds fine. It's just when he's been purring for a long time. Once he stops purring it goes away rather quickly and he's fine again. I just thought I'd ask b/c he was just in my lap purring and it happened again.

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

He doesn't really drool, and nothing comes out of his mouth, it's just a sound he gets. Like when a little kid has a chest cold and they sound "rattly", if that makes sense.

Larry had that when I came back from being away for two weeks. He was purring constantly, and it sounded exactly like that....and he kept swallowing and it sounded like he had a big lump in his throat. Almost like, if it was a person, you'd want to clear your throat.
I was all worried, thinking I had to take him to the vet. But it went away in a couple of hours and I haven't heard it since. I have no idea what it was, so can't help you there.

The only time Midnight sounded like that when he purred, was when he had a cold a few weeks back.
