I caught my 7 month old using my 17.5 year old's tail as a toy so I decided I needed to wear him out. I grabbed a wand toy and guided him up and down one of the cat trees several times and had him doing flips in the air. We were at this for under 10 minutes when he began to pant, which is what I was aiming for, but then he started coughing as though he had a hairball.
I have heard him cough for a very short period of time like this a few times before but didn't think much of it. This time it was more prolonged and accompanied by some panting. I have two cats with asthma(one very very mild; does not require meds) so that's one concern. A heart condition is another. :/
Does anyone have a kitten or cat who coughs like that and doesn't have a medical condition? I suppose hairballs are a possibility.
He's had a number of health concerns since I adopted him and had swollen lymph nodes & elevated lymphocytes at his last appointment. His recheck is this week and I'll definitely be bringing this up with the vet. I really hope it's nothing major but I can't help but worry..
