I've never seen this before. My kitten, Kimi (approximately 5 months old), seems to have a slight issue. She acts fine, eats fine, plays fine, eliminates fine... but for the last few days, when she starts to purr, she "coughs". I don't know how better to explain it. It's like a clearing of the throat, sort of like when they're trying to cough up a hairball but nowhere nearly as "violent" and it's not a continual hacking. Just a couple cough-type sounds.

I gave her some hairball gel yesterday evening but that doesn't seem to have helped any. Does anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks!
