I'm concerned about my cat Mr. Bear, he will be 20 in 2 months and he's pretty well all things considered. He had a pretty bad stroke the day before thanksgiving and has made a miraculous recovery. Recently, when I pet him and he starts to purr too loudly, he coughs, seemingly from his stomach. Once he starts purring he will keep going even after I stop petting him, so when he starts to cough I leave the room until he stops purring (I stay right outside the door and peek at him, but he doesn't know, he's deaf). He always recovers pretty quickly and seems totally fine afterwards, but it is quite concerning as it looks very unpleasant for him.
He is otherwise quite healthy, he still hops on the counter (not allowed) and chases/plays with my other much younger cat occasionally.
How serious is this?
