Hi all, my kitten atleast once every alternate day from a week does this (video)… looks like it’s trying to puke or caugh but not really sure.. is this hair ball issue or anything else ? Please advise

Hi Sufiyan. The video is dark and not very clear. But it looks like a cough. If it's not very frequent, you can just ignore or if it's more, get him checked clinically. If cats want to throw up hairball, they retch and remove it out. This can also be monitored in stool, if you are finding lot of hair in stool, you can use any anti hairball paste or food accordingly.

Sufiyan ..

Not frequent it’s like once in a while. I’ve started giving hairball food along with other food I used to give.

Anyhow, you can clinically get your pet examined to rule out any problem.
