Hello there! It sounds like your furry friend is dealing with some coughing fits, which can understandably be a bit concerning. Let's explore what might be going on.
Cats cough for various reasons, much like humans. It could be something as simple as irritation from dust or allergens. Sometimes, coughing can be related to hairballs, even if your kitty isn't actually bringing them up. Respiratory infections or asthma are also possibilities, particularly if you notice any wheezing or changes in your cat's breathing patterns.
At home, try keeping your cat's environment as dust-free as possible. Regularly cleaning their bedding and vacuuming can help reduce airborne irritants. Also, consider using an air purifier if you suspect allergens might be a trigger.
However, watch for signs that could indicate something more serious: labored breathing, lethargy, loss of appetite, or blue-tinged gums. These symptoms might signal a more urgent issue that requires veterinary attention.
It's always better to err on the side of caution, so I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. A professional can assess your kitty’s symptoms in more detail and advise you on the best course of action. Looking forward to helping you keep your feline friend healthy and happy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
