A persistent dry, hacking cough in a cat, often described as sounding like they're trying to clear a hairball, can be a symptom of various conditions. These include feline asthma, bronchitis, heartworm disease, or even foreign bodies in the airway. While hairballs are common, a consistent cough warrants veterinary attention to get a proper diagnosis. Early intervention can prevent the condition from worsening. Observe if there are any other symptoms like difficulty breathing, lethargy, or loss of appetite.
