coughing/hissing
So this am Ginger being the monster she is was running around like crazy, which she does every morning. Then she stops and does this little cough/hissing thing, like heh heh hiss ok that was kinda weird. So being the paranoid mom I am I start watching her and having all kinds of crazy thoughts, is something in her throat? did she eat something poisonous? OMG! Now I am looking at her eyes and they are dilated, she has been running around like crazy. I gave her some treats, she ate those no problem. Then I gave her a little cream, drank that ok. I was still thinking she was acting strange. But maybe it is just how she acts and now I am micro managing her behavior? Well she has calmed down and so have I. Now for my question, has your cat ever exhibited strange behavior that made you think they were ill? I think I am attached to this little girl and God forbid anything ever happens to her!

Aw Donna I feel for you so much. We love our babies to bits and anything out of the ordinary sends our minds racing. I cant offer any advise I am so sorry, but I am sure others on the forum will be able to help. I hope Ginger stops worrying Mum so much x

Chris, Thank you. My husband says we stop worrying, when we die! Ginger is snuggled in my lap purring right now, she has a full tummy and is very content. I love her so much I get crazy when I think she might be sick hahaha moms!

Neevie did that a lot, still does sometimes - the first few times I got really frantic! - but then realised that strangely it usually coincides to my earplugs disappearing... and then I find them in her litter box all wrapped up in something smelly and brown - so, I'm assuming there was an earplug stuck in there....
now she still does it sometimes, but just a cough a hiss and then she looks at me like "'s'up...? no I didn't... hey you got something to eat?" (her usual look)
they do tend to eat stuff they're not supposed to - earplugs are ok I guess, they just pass through eventually... but you never know what it can be.
if she does it again, be sure to check her litter, and may be take her to the vet to get her checked?

Alekto, Thank you so much, I don't think she ate anything but who knows? She is under the beds, in the closets and cupboards. Although I baby proofed the house when she moved in, she can get into spaces I would never fit. She did poo last night to my relief! I was impatiently waiting for her to do her "business". I have no problems taking her to the vet if there is something wrong with her, I would have to say "she is acting stranger than usual?" hahah I spend every day with her as I do not work, so I know how she behaves.
