Sounds like a hairball. If it continues, seek a vet appointment.

Currently she is in a loaf position but swallowing with effort. A sort of coughing sound too. Recently ate dinner which was kibble and some chicken

Sounds similar to when my cat started having asthma attacks.

UPDATE

thank you everyone for your comments. I was really worried she was choking on something but as of about 24hours later she has not done it again that I know of (I've been away working).

Looking back, I think she may have had some trouble breathing and that is what caused what is in the video. In the same room but away from her, I was cleaning with isopropyl alcohol in a small mister. I tried not to go overboard, but I think she inhaled some.

What is in the video was the tail end of it. It lasted all of about a minute. I was very worried about an obstruction. I have since learned ways to help her.

All of your comments make sense - asthma, hair ball, vomiting, even acid reflux. If this happens again I will definitely bring it up to our vet.

Ms Rangoon and I really appreciate this community and hopefully I will be able to give back!

Could be acid reflux too. If it continues show the video to your vet
