Hello all. I'm a long time viewer of Cat of the Day and reader of Pet Talk. I just haven't posted before. In fact, I just registered incase I had something to respond to. I have currently have 8 cats and have gone through numerous different medical procedures over the years. I may have things to add in the future, but for the moment, I thought I would ask a question.
Does anyone have a kitty that chokes after drinking water? I rescued a kitten just over a year ago and she has done this almost from the beginning. I've asked my vet about it, and he said that he has heard of cats that do this and didn't seem to know why. He didn't seem concerned about it. I've tried searching online for others that have similiar conditions, but haven't been able to find anything about it. It doesn't seem to bother her and she doesn't necessarily do it every time she drinks, but quite often. It sounds like she is trying to cough up a hairball, but I don't believe I've ever seen a hairball from her. It's nothing serious, but I just thought it might be something I could post about and introduce myself at the same time. This kitty's name is Aroara. (When she was a kitten she would race around like a maniac and then fall dead asleep. So she was named after Princess Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty. But since she is a cat I had to spell it with a ROAR.)
