Why does my beloved cat gag so often?
It's worrying when our cats suddenly start choking more often. You may be wondering, "What's wrong with my darling?" Often, there's something completely natural behind it—and you can gently help.
Many cats gag because they want to get rid of hairballs that accumulate during grooming. But other things like stress or minor intolerances can also be the cause. The important thing is that you're there to support them!
Possible reasons why your cat is choking
-
Hairballs: While grooming, your cat swallows hair that collects in the stomach and can cause gagging. This is unpleasant for them—and for you, too.
-
New food or intolerances: Sometimes your cat's stomach doesn't like the food as much as usual.
-
Stress: Changes in the home, new roommates or moving can stress cats.
-
Worms: Parasites can disrupt your cat's well-being and cause discomfort.
-
Foreign body: If your cat has swallowed something dangerous, this is of course an emergency.
