He's had a slight dry sounding cough for a couple of days. Eyes and nose are clear, no fever, and there's no change in behavior or appetite. Quite the opposite... he just begged several bites of chicken noodle soup from me then tried to help himself to more.
It does not sound like a hairball cough, it's short and not as heavy. Patting him on his back seems to help and he swallows a bit after coughing. And here's the part that bothers me the most, while coughing his breath smells, that sort of sick/congested sort of smell. I'm worried it's the beginning of a URI
DH think's I'm being paranoid since I want to see about getting Tomas in to see the vet Monday or Tuesday.
I've only seen kitties with at least some nasal discharge or even more obvious signs that they've got an URI , but it's probably a silly question to ask if an completely normal looking cat not really presenting any symptoms can have a URI.
