Poor Tiger... I hope you can find what is wrong and get him to start feeling better. Poor boy.

Thoughts and prayers for Tiger and your family.

Bless your poor baby and you for having to listen to and watch him struggle for air! I watched his first video and it broke my heart. He sounds like he has something hung in his throat and it is choking him! Surely all of the endoscopies would have shown that though. Gosh, I know you must be so very frustrated!!!

BIG HUGS and prayers that a vet is soon able to get this figured out!

So sorry to hear about your little guy.

My sister's cat recently died from something that sounds fairly like what you describe. He developed a kind of gasping breathing, not because something was in his airways, but because his chest cavity had filled with fluid and his lungs could not fill with air. He was treated initially for hairballs, and then allergy. By the time they figured out it was congestive heart failure, it was too late to put him on any kind of treatment.

I am not trying to freak you out, and I apologize for sounding this distressing note, but if this is what your cat suffers from, and you catch it soon enough, perhaps it can be treated.

Best wishes to you.
