cat making gulping or hard swallowing sounds
by Twoie's Mommy
My 10 year old Russian Blue mix male cat (neutered)has begun making gulping or hard swallowing sounds when he is grooming, purring and eating. He also sneezes from time to time and had a coughing spell almost every morning. He is an indoor/outdoor cat and weighs 15 pounds.
Other than the above symptoms, he appears normal and undistressed.

Hi
This could be hairballs
https://www.our-happy-cat.com/hairballs.htmlIf the symptoms continue for more than a few days or more or if you notice any other symptoms then it may be an idea to have them checked by a vet in case there is something else which is stuck in his throat.
However hairballs are quick common and can be a bit uncomfortable for the cat until they can get rid of them.
