I should have explained the link between hairballs and asthma better in the video: When cats are having an asthma attack they groom themselves to soothe themselves (as it's distressing) and sucknin air and this makes them swallow hair. Then they throw it up.

"The most squished cat on the internet" Oh to have such a title 😚

Just went to the vet after seeing a video of a cat having an asthma attack on tiktok - that was exactly what I was seeing with my cat. Her chest X-rays looked just like the ones in this video. We’re starting her on an inhaler - hopefully she’ll feel better soon!

I diagnose Claudia with the extreme case of cuteness!

Wow. No idea. Thank you. I thought my cat ate bugs and they upset her but she coughs just like what you showed. Off to the vet!

About 10 years ago I had TWO Vets at the same practice totally dismiss my concerns about my cat's frequent coughing. After seeing that vid and listening to Dr. Uri I would bet my right arm that she had asthma. I've learned my lesson - trust your instinct!

OMG!!!! I just realised my 12 year old boy had asthma!!! I assumed it was just hairballs. Taking him to the vet first thing Monday morning. Thank you so much!! I can’t believe I missed it for so long. This video has changed my cat’s life and will hopefully save him further unnecessary suffering!!! Bless your kindness, Dr Uri! You have no idea how much you’ve helped us today. Thank you from our whole family and especially Mousie (our senior tabby)❤❤❤🥹🇦🇺

Claudia is a good assistant 🥰 in one of your older videos you mentioned “make sure your cat is well petted” before applying medication. So for the last year I’ve been telling my cat twice a day, before applying his transdermal thyroid meds, “ok Steven, let’s make sure your well petted”. 🤗💜💜

Make sure the valve is opening and closing, I have one cat that will hold their breath sometimes and figured I had to scratch their ear when they did that, making them purr and forcing them to breathe

Just got my cat diagnosed with cat asthma yesterday and this popped up on my subscription page haha. I'm a vet student so when mine started to show some signs I got wary about it. He still is 10 months old so I hope I can give him a comfortable life without many crisis.

My kitty soulmate Boris developed asthma when he was 8 months old. He had very frequent attacks. He was on prednisolone for most of his 17 years of life. He wouldn't tolerate the inhaler with the Skylab adapter (that's what my boyfriend called it) but he did very well on the prednisolone. He did still have attacks from time to time and they scared the daylights out of me. I always thought he was in danger of suffocating. Boris has been gone for 6 years now but I still use his picture for my profile.

Thank you. Now I know that my cat has asthma. Given her history of allergies, it makes sense

I now realize I had cats having asthma attacks

Perfect timing for this video. My cat did this just a few hours ago, without this video I probably would have forgotten about it because I assumed it was just a hairball that didn’t come out. I’ll definitely bring it up during my next appointment.

Thank you so much!!! You’ve saved my senior cat from unnecessary suffering because I now recognise that he’s probably been suffering from asthma not furballs. I had no idea… thank you ❤️❤️❤️🥹

God I love these videos, I don't even take in half the information. It's just something about your voice and your awesome cats that has me hooked everytime.

I lost my 17 yr old MC boy last June. I noticed he had a dry cough for a few days. Then he started to walk a ways and then struggle to breath like he was panting. I immediately called my vet and she gave me the number to the weekend vet. After taking X-rays he was diagnosed with lymphoma. An enlarged lymph behind his lung was obstructing his breathing. I sure do miss the big guy. Now I have 2 9 month old heathens. I mean boys.😊 I rescued them a month after my loss. They are FeLV brothers. My thumb nail is of them. I think they are handsome boys.

Nice informative video! My cat was diagnosed in 2011 and back then I had to get most of my information from a very dedicated Yahoo group and personal websites, it's nice to see more awareness these days. He lived a long 18 years- 12 years after his asthma was diagnosed. I have a video of an example of his coughing on my channel, too, in hopes that more people can recognize the symptoms and treat their kitties so they too can live long and happy lives 😊

Thank you so much for your video! After watching it, we filmed our cat coughing and took her to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out she has asthma. She got a shot of cortisone and we'll get her an inhaler next. She's already much improved. We're so grateful for your video. We wouldn't have had any idea what's wrong with her without it. Thank you so much from me, my husband and our 16-year-old cat, Leilah.

Wow, the stars really aligned on this. Literally taking one of my cats into the vet next week about a cough she's been having. Thank you for spreading awareness and explaining things so well!

Spring and fall while there are wet leaves and lawn ( like snow mold) Kitty gets sneezy and weezy.

Thankfully my vet was “switched on” as you said and she diagnosed my kitty with mild asthma! She said that we would try the inhaler if she gets the cough/asthma attack more often. Thank you for this, I always learn so much from your videos!

I have asthma and like 3 other autoimmune and general systematic health issues. Makes sense it works the same in cats. In humans it’s often a domino effect, 1 system malfunctioning kicks off another system malfunctioning.

I was thinking about Mr. Pirate the other day glad to see you all again!!

when i took my cat to the vet, i showed them the exact same video (because i did a research before going) and after checking the doctor didn't gave hime any medicine and told me that it's not an asthma it's just allergies, and he told me to stop putting perfume, or any other kind of strong smells, and candles, and when i stopped my cat never had it again, it's been months in the past he used to have once or twice a week.

Thank you!!! I'm going to talk to my vet about this tomorrow. I had the suspicion something was off, but after seeing the video of the cat having an asthma attack I'm 99% sure this is what's going on.

1 of my kitties has asthma. Certain times a years she has more attacks and the attacks are longer. She has an inhaler and I’ve bought an air filter for my house. Since last year I’ve bought a robovacuum that also mops. Helps to keep the dust, hair and other stuff to a minimum.

Very useful information. Had to say goodbye to my 17yo cat a few days ago due to breathing problems when lying down. His coughing proved to be heart failure for which he was prescribed Furosemide for over a year to help clear his lungs of fluid, but gentle squishing also helped, and I also had the idea of spraying occasional bursts of Salbutamol into the air. An AeroKat might have helped to make this more effective, so I'll place this comment in memory of Oddsy the White Cat.

I...feel terrible now. I thought the coughing was just him getting hairballs cleared. D: I knew it wasn't a vomited hairball, because it's always a dry cough, but "asthma" never entered my head. >< And of course im finding this out at the worst time, because -I- finally have healthcare after 5 years, and I'm already going into debt trying to get myself healed! 😭

My cat indeed does this coughing occasionally but really very rarely. Better keep that in mind for her next check-up at the vet.

Wow, one of my cats has this same cough occasionally, and it always makes my heart race, since I nursed a previous cat through 5 years of congestive heart failure and my thoughts go right to the worse case scenario. Thank you so much for this video, I never even thought of this possibility!

Thanks. And congrats on the new addition!

Yuri! So nice to see you in my YT feed again!

Claudia is a very good patient.

Wow! Thanks so much! My cat has been coughing in exactly the way you showed on the video.... Same posture, sounds, everything. My vet's getting a call on Monday.

Watching that at 2 am love your stuff

i don't have cats, but your videos are always so comforting and nice

Thank You CUTE CLAUDIA 😻& DR. URI❤🙏 making the world a Better place for us All with every video you make💯

First time I saw my cat do this I really thought it was hairballs. Poor guy had asthma! We love our lil inhaler like you have there. Thanks for this vid to help others :)

This comes at a great time. I've been looking for information to understand better about spotting it in my cats

Doctor, thank you so much for this video. Your description and video example of a cat asthma attack made me realize my cat likely has the same. My dear girl Scilla has been coughing near-daily since I got her nearly three years ago. She's feral so building her trust has been a slow and gradual process, and it's only been a year since I've been able to crate her and bring her to a vet. On her first vet visit I brought up her cough, but the vet blew me off, saying it was nothing. In the time since her last vet visit (less than a year) she's started coughing up hairballs, and lately it's been about twice a week. I feel horribly that she's been suffering for so long under my watch, but I'm glad you've made this video so that I know to take her to a vet asap. Thank you, I hope her health improves. She's so dear to my heart.

Excellent information. Our 12-year-old cat Zoe has lived with us as a semi-feral all her life. She has never let my husband near her and minimally tolerates me petting her at times. Even something such as a flea treatment sends her into hiding for days (and I didn’t even get to do the treatment!) I’m certain she has asthma, sometimes having multiple events in a day. Oddly enough, she almost never has fur balls, but does vomit rather frequently if she snags one of the other cats’ food or eats too fast. We are experienced cat people, always having multiple cats and executing all sorts of medical procedures and care for them. Sadly, Zoe would never allow herself to be caught and treated. My philosophy has always been that my 90+ pounds can take on a 10-15 pound cat and win. Zoe is my exception. I wish all your other viewers greater success with their kitties with asthma.

omg my cat has asthma 😭😭 i feel like such an asshole not realising

Thank you SO much for this video! I have a 10 month old kitten who I've noticed periodically coughing, but I didn't think it was asthma as it would just be a one-off cough every 2-3 weeks. But the cough does sound just like that video you showed. I will definitely bring this up with my vet! Edit: I have a dental appointment already scheduled for him as he has had gingivitis despite daily brushing - I will DEFINITELY mention the cough at that appointment, I had no idea there was a link between asthma and gum disease. Thank you so much for this information!

My cat cough like that all his life. Vet said his lung sounds fine and the coughing happens once in a while so probably just periodic allergens since he doesn’t have hairballs. He is currently dying from congested heart failure. The coughing was his way of clearing fluid from his lungs. X ray would have helped pick it up earlier. Ask for that x ray!!

Clawdia looks like my black and white short hair! So cute!

Re: autoimmune disorders ... humans with autoimmune disorders are predisposed to multiple AI disorders, so it makes sense that animals are too. I have multiple problems, all inflammatory in nature - arthritis, sarcoidosis in my lungs, prolactinoma (pituitary tumor), stomach problems, etc etc! One of my cats has always had the exact symptoms you're describing and we always put it down to allergies as we live in a very dusty old house. But she does throw up - she's a Cornish Rex so she doesn't exactly have any hair to have hairballs, it's just a little bit of froth. Thing is... when I had sarcoidosis, I would cough so hard I threw up, and I've always thought it was the same thing for my kitty. The problem I have now is that she's 14.5 and I really don't want to send her for procedures that need anaesthetic unless it's a desperate situation. Is there any other diagnostic tool that can establish likely asthma rather than just a dust allergy? I don't want to let her suffer any more than she has to, but I also a) can't afford a huge amount of vet bills, so I have to select what diagnostics and treatments carefully with our vet, and b) don't want to put her through any more anaesthetic than she needs to. Honestly, the responsibility of cat ownership is hard at times - I have 3 kitties, and this one has the coughing fits, one has colitis on an ongoing basis and one has just recovered from serious cat-flu. I'm disabled, and on low income and it's been a struggle. I want to do the right thing.

Wow, respect to Claudia for being so patient and helpful throughout the video. Thank you doctor, too. I am a ukrainian living in Turkey, it is really hard to find a good vet in Turkey. They diagnose without any lab or X-ray methods. I have been to 3 clinics, none of the doctors performed X-ray, I felt it is suspicious, cause we perform X ray in Ukraine when it comes to lung diseases. Doc said my cat has athma just looking at him and watching the video where my cat coughs. So I found this info that you gave in the video very helpful. Thanks a lot!! I will go and insist on X ray in other clinic.

THANK YOU! I'm pretty sure my baby girl cat has that, but since the coughing was very sporadic I always forget to bring up with the vet. Will schedule an appointment ASAP for that :)

My friend's cat has asthma attacks for sure. She also used to frequently have them after being chased by a bully cat (she's a timid cat). She also has lots of skin issues & often chews her fur & skin till it gets really raw and even bleeds. I feel so bad for that cat!

Thank you for this video Dr. Uri. It was nice to see Ms. Clawdia. Please give Mr. Pirate a big squish for me😊.

You're such an amazing vet Uri. Your clients are very lucky to have you. You so clearly genuinely care deeply for every animal. I've been following you for years, and your advice has helped me ensure that i never miss anything when it comes to the wellbeing of my little best friend.

That thumbnail is so cute

Asthma is now on the list for questions to ask about at my cat's next check up.

My cat does this at least once a month. Really think I need to see a vet.

Cat asthma, catsthma.

Sweet love of Jesus, doc, I love you. I think this is what is wrong with my cat. I've been trying to figure it out forever and the vet can't help me if she doesn't see it, which she never did since I couldn't explain it.

I've never seen my kitty upchuck a hairball but she does sometimes have unproductive coughs that sound like hairball ones. I'm going to the vet next week, maybe I should ask about asthma. I have asthma myself, so I feel bad if I didn't recognize she does.

This video was so helpful! I’ve been wondering lately if my cat has asthma and I’m gonna be bringing it up to my vet. Thank you!

Thank you for this video! Our tomcat has this coughing since we adopted him from street. He has other allergic reactions too (stomach etc.). We will definately try the baby appliance for the corticoidsteroid buffer. I hope we can buy both of this in germany too. So happy to find out what it could be our cat has! 😃

My cat Daisy has asthma. It’s well controlled as long as she gets her inhaler every day, and she gets a lot of squishes and treats with it. I made it a part of her feeding routine, and she runs up for it every time. Her sister supervises and gets treats as well. I watched other videos when I was trying to figure out what to do, and I appreciate this one for reassuring me that I’m doing everything right. I initially had a vet who made me feel like a neglectful owner for not wanting to pay for bloodwork, but I let the second one do the x-ray. Daisy had the little donuts on her x-ray, and she has a heart murmur. She is also the sweetest cat in the world, and I’m so glad I can make her life more pleasant

Very informative video. My cat had somewhat rare asthma attacks a few years ago but the vets always ignored it, until eventually it evolved into more severe and weekly if not daily coughing. The small vets for some reason would never diagnose or treat it properly until I went to a larger pet hospital which prescribed some prednisolone to first see if it helped. After it very much did we switched to fluticasone with an aerokat and I've been using it since. It took maybe a week for my cat to get used to it but he doesn't mind so much since I cuddle him at the same time. And to other pet owners make sure they don't prescribe branded fluticasone like Flovent which costs twice as much for the same thing.

Claudia is back!

I learned a lot.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! You're the best ❤😻🫶

As usual, brilliant video. These should almost be mandatory to watch for cat owners. Also very topical for us as we have a foster cat who has been suffering mainly from almost daily throwing up (often with some hair, but usually not. he's a long haired cat as well) and occasionally coughing after drinking water. The coughing did not look like what you showed in the video, more like "I have stuff stuck in my throat that makes me want to clear my airways and almost throw up, but not quite". The coughing also never lead to throwing up. There was no breathing difficulties between the coughs. Unfortunately since we don't talk directly to the vets but talk through the animal shelter it was initially diagnosed as asthma that now doesn't seem to be the case, which was my view in the first place. Either way, I trust the vets will find the answer and I hope he will be healthy because he's the best cat :) I don't know why I went so deeply into the cats medical history, it's just been a big part of my life the past few months and I feel someone else needs to know too :D

I might get on your Patrion just to get a real second opinion from you... My little one has "hairballs" multiple times a week, has been on several week-long antibiotic courses, and is doing just a touch better on Loratadine, which I had to beg the vet to let us try. I keep asking about asthma (I'm asthmatic myself) and they keep brushing it off. She coughs *just* like that video too, and rarely brings anything up. I just want her to feel better 😭

Thank you for this! One of my cat do have asthma. Your videos are very helpful and informative. We really love your channel ❤❤❤

Dr. Uri, you said that the crouching-abdominal-coughing might be seen as our cats are attempting to cough-up a furball. But, do cats with asthma also display this coughing symptom at other times, e.g. when there's no furball to cough-up, as a symptom of respiratory distress? In other words, is it only coughing + furball that's symptomatic of asthma, or is it just the asthma coughing is more obvious when our cats are coughing-up their periodic furballs? As ever, a very useful video. It reminded me that one of our two cats used to have these coughing bouts, but we thought it was just part of the process of coughing up a furball. Today, you've taught me that there's a 90% probability that one of our cats suffered from asthma. But then, this was before "the clean air act" which banned the burning of coal in our homes, and we'd often have days when you couldn't see your own hand if you stretched out your arm, the smog was literally that bad! Wishing you and Claudia all the very best from England, Rick

Oh my word. My poor kids - I've had a few cats over the years that likely had asthma! I always thought hairballs were just part of cat life!

Thanks! I don’t think Admiral Furgus has an asthma problem but I think I’m going to try the squishing technique to trim his very sharp front claws. Never had a cat with a nail trimming problem until Furgie. Not even one that we started pawdicures at 12 years old. BTW we have a pug and we always call the reverse sneezes “dog asthma attacks”. Winnie the Pug had nasal palate surgery when she was spayed and rarely gets them.

Wow. My cat needed a full mouth tooth extraction because of stomatitis. She also coughs like this every couple of months, and has IBS. I’d say she’s a poster child for autoimmune diseases!

I'd suggest at first sign, change litter to a good quality dustless. Costco is horrible since they changed packaging and caused my cat to develop respiratory distress, as did the cheap bag I picked up in a pinch from Bosley's the other day. She's back to normal now thanks to odourlock maxcare :) Canadian Tire also carries a real good one, can't remember the name. Many many ppl use cheap kitty litter, it's very dusty and well...

One of my cats was diagnosed with feline asthma a few months ago. He is on the inhaler regiment and it's really helped. Thank you so much for this video. I picked up a few tips regarding putting the inhaler puffs into the chamber before I put the Aerokat on my kitty. I was doing it while it was already on his face. Pre-loading it will be so much simpler.

thank you, dr burstein, for all your wonderful videos. i wish my vet had known more about asthma in cats. for a few years i saw these signs in one of my kitties, and i brought it up with my vet several times. and was completely dismissed. in the end, i lost my sweet girl to pleural effusion, definitely from asthma. it was devastating, and i really wish i had known to push the issue with the vet.

Im really glad you took this subject on at last! I got a 6 year old kitty and after I finally was able to determine she has vhronic rhinitis and treat that. In the cond year, she started getting these scary coughs. As I was trying to figure it out, there were no really few informative youtube viseos and vets weren't a ton of help, even though they said it night be asthma after chest X-rays. I finally went to a cat specialist and she helped me understand that my cat has seasonal, spring allergies. I have an inhaler just in case, but last year, i didnt let my cat out on the patio In April + May, and ran a filtration unit all day for those months. She only had one cough episode. I searched all your videos at the time, so I'm glad youve addressed it! Also, for those with cats with chronic issues, I highly recommend a cat specialist vet if you can find one, or even a cat only clinic. Their cat knowledge is so much deeper.

I had a cat who developed stress induced asthma when I adopted another cat. It was quite scary to witness. I used the inhaler for 2 years. Then I began to wean him off and he no longer needed the inhaler. He and the new cat became friends which helped.

This is awesome information.

Welp, this video has definitely let me know my cat has asthma! It’s super infrequent though- and I work from home, so I’d know if it was happening a lot. Time to throw out my febreeze aerosols and think of any other irritants in the house!

So happy you are back on KZfaq. Claudia deserves lots of squishes and scritches!

Glad to see you are posting again.

As someone who has lived my whole life with asthma ... this makes a lot of sense. Going to see what my sister and I can do for our sweet little CJ, who definitely coughs like this somewhat often. It has been better overall since we switched to a less dust-producing litter, though!

I wish I had seen a video this informative years ago... my cat passed away in January, and she had a cough just like the one you showed. She would cough every day multiple times, and it got worse if she was ever held upside down. She first developed it years ago and my mom was convinced she had a hairball. We took her to the vet and they said the same. Didn't suggest an x-ray or blood test or anything, just listened to her lungs and said "probably a hairball." No hairball came for weeks, even with medicine. And when one eventually did come, she still coughed. We couldn't afford many vet visits since the flea medicine was so expensive already, so she unfortunately lived the rest of her life coughing. I'm not sure if that's what did her in, 'cause during her final few weeks she stopped eating, but her usual spasms started getting heavy and labored. After seeing that, I immediately took her to get put down. I feel so guilty that I let this family and that vet dismiss her cough for so long. I feel like I could have made her life so much easier for her if we had gone to that other vet sooner, but they said she was too far gone for her age. A part of me hopes it was just her time anyway, she lived for 15 years after all, and had several other problems that old cats tend to get. Still, I hate that I could've done more for her. I hope she loved me despite my failures as a pet owner, and I won't make the same mistakes for my other two babies.

Your previous video on this is what caused me to ask my vet about asthma in my cat - it's changed her life to get diagnosed. She is now on a daily steroid inhaler (which is easier to teach a cat to use than people think) and her symptoms are way way better. If she's coughing every once in a while too, I try and and give gentle chest PT to help her loosen the mucus and get it out Oh, and her previous vet put her on systemic steroids, and she was on it for over a year, then she got a toothache and wasn't eating as well, and then the oral steroids gave her gastric bleeding. I wish we had started on the inhaler right away!

Your cat has the most beautiful pink nose.❤ I am a chronic asthmatic and feel bad knowing cats have asthma too.

My little buddy was just diagnosed with asthma. I found your videos while looking for help on how to use the spacer and mask. Very helpful! I have gone on to watch several more of your videos and I really enjoy them. Thank you for helping educate me for the benefit of my two babies: Randy and June 😊❤

Guess were goin to get a puffer tomorrow.

Thank you , this was most helpful. My cat was diagnosed as possible asthmatic when I first got him. He was given prednisone tablets. He had a dental last year, and almost died from the procedure. My new vet has suggested possibly using an inhaler but is not in a hurry. I don’t like using the tablets for an extended period, because I know I’m humans, that’s not recommended either. Now, I am armed with valid information , going to talk to my vet again and request X-ray and inhaler w/ chamber. Thank You sooo much.

Thank you for making this video! My Luna has been coughing just like the video for the past three months but never in front of our vet.

i KNEW my cat mightve have asthma for several years, but whenever i described the way she would cough (exactly as shown in your video) everyone told me “oh thats just hairballs”. The only one who agreed with me was a vet. My cat is doing fine but she does cough occasionally and i plan to get her an inhaler. But please everyone, always consult a vet and not just friends and family. So many ppl seems to mistake coughing and hairball hurling as the same thing. Thank you for validating something i have suspected so long but was told was not the case.

my cat does exactly what's shown in the video and I had the suspicion for the longest time, my first vet back in Ireland paid me no mind when I told him about it, no tests, no nothing, he just sent me back home with a hairball paste and that was that. Thankfully my new vet back in my country, Spain, listened to me a lot more and asked me if I could record a video of my cat next time she showed the symptoms I was describing and after seeing it she did say it seemed like a respiratory problem so she ordered x-ray and she said she did see slightly affected bronchi, I don't remember the exact word she used, but as of yet she didn't suggest any treatment, I kept recording the occurrences of coughing I noticed in my cat to monitorice the frequency and it sits at around once every two weeks or something like that for the ones I am able to see on her. THANKS A LOT FOR THIS VIDEO. I hope lots of people see it and cat advocate for their cats better than I did, I'm glad I ended up getting a second opinion when I moved back to Spain

I have been fostering an adult cat and he has these attacks, I thought he was just doing that thing mini dogs do when they get over excited, but then my sister saw it and told me he probably had asthma, which is why I came here to check it out

Very helpful!! Thank you so much. My cat was diagnosed in the summertime and has now gotten down to about one coughing session every two weeks, and I was nervous that stopping and starting the inhaler would be bad, really wonderful to hear your opinion!!

This man a menace for inhaling some himself. Respect.

Wow, ok, so now I’m 90% convinced one of my cats have asthma. Guess we need to book a time for x-ray. Very informative video, thank you!

We’ve missed you soooo much! I hope Mr Pirate is doing well also. Cutest cat EVA.

I keep trying to use this with my cat. I first had a few weeks of dry runs, cause she really hates any manipulation on herself (unless it’s getting cuddles all over). I got her to accept it for 3 to 5 breaths without the medication. However with the medication she freaks out as soon as she takes the first breath. She must really hate the spray. I give her a treat after every half breath and try like 5 times. Sometimes she seems to be holding her breath, the sneaky little girl (the flappy thingy doesn’t move). I’ll keep trying, though.

Both my cats sometimes have cough attacks, and both their radios and exam show no obvious signs of asthma. They both gor antibiotics for a few weeks and inhalations for a month and the cough stopped almost completely. They are both prone to rhino crisis tho, so it probably was that + a respiratory infection. But to be honest, if it's asthma or an infection, go see a vet anyway if your cat coughs like in the video. At some point before going to the vet, one of my cats had an attack so bad they had trouble breathing and I had to hold her like if she was choking and gently tap her back to stimulate her breathing

Hi Dr. Uri, Clawdia does look very squishy!!!😂 Thank you very much for explaining this. I suspected that my cat Angelina Jolie had asthma because of this "cough" just like the video you showed but no hairballs so I did take her to her regular vet and they did all the x-rays (3 sides) and her lungs looked normal, she detected very little inflammation that she thought was more age related since she's 14 so now we just monitor her and I have added air purifiers and changed her litter pellets that don't clump to reduce dust and that seem to improve the cough. What I now notice after 8 months is that it's more of a seasonal allergy thing because she's fine in the winter months but starts coughing in the summer. We'll see how this summer goes, fingers crossed. But it's so nice to have you back, you were so missed .😻👏👏👏👌👍

Thank you for enabling caption on this video!
