64 choking or hair ball

Yes, that sounds pretty hair-bally to me. What happens then?
(I should say it's always a worry to make a call like this online as there could be other things going on).

Yes, this does sound like it might be a hairball. Does your cat ever expel a hairball afterwards, or does it sound like she swallows it back? Sometimes a bit of hair can cause irritation which may also be what is going on.
It would be a good idea to have her checked out, to see if something might be stuck or backed up somewhere and to rule out the possibility of asthma.

It could be a hairball, but that is exactly what Munchie does when he's having an asthma attack. He gets really low to the ground, extends his neck out and coughs/honks. I would have her checked out just to be safe.

Here's a thread discussing the same thing: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/270367/coughing-vs-hairball-vs-asthma
If it's more than a one-off, a vet visit would be in order..

My Daisy does this without producing anything. She went to the vet earlier this week and right now, we're thinking it's either a food allergy or airborne allergies.
