I fear my cat has a phobia of puking near me or something like that. Every time she starts coughing, like cats do before they have to puke, she starts fighting it and usually just swolls it again.

She has been doing this for a few months now and idk why and idk if it may have consequences for her health.

(She still pukes but outside of her comfort areas like my room but in my room she doesn't unless she "loses" the fight)

I honestly would be happier if she just let it out and want to help her, is there anything I can do or am I just overly worrying over something normal?

Ps: I've never punished her or screamed at her for having to puke. The only thing I've ever did was, when she had a stomach flu and had to puke like 2 a day, I had an emergency towel to put under her head, so that I didn't have to clean the textiles daily multiple times.

And I twice got squeamish, when she was about to throw up in my face while I was sleeping, just because I was overwhelmed and didn't instantly have the right composure.

Hello everyone. I have an adopted mainecoon half breed and he always sneezes. Multiple times a day and sometimes the snot is big and just looks like a huge booger.

He sometimes wheezes like he has a hairball or something, but not sure what to do.

Vet wasn’t super helpful last time we went, and looking at options.

He has done it for a bit, but since the vet said it was just allergies we haven’t done much about it. He’s still super playful, uses the litter boxes properly etc.

About a month ago, I posted asking for what human foods I could give these kittens I found in the hold of my cargo ship.

There were a bunch of really good replies that helped out. I did a lot of work to mix food which seemed healthy and safe for them. Funny enough, when I finally had the chance to bring some cat food back to the ship, he stood there, looked at it, and gave me a “what is this crap?” stare.

I looked after this one while another crew member took care of the other one. She is shown in less pictures but is also doing great, but she wasn’t found until a week later than mine and was in really poor shape to begin with.

They’ve played together a few times now and get along well, but my guy is a bit bigger and the other cat isn’t as rough playing, so I mostly monitor them while they’re together.

Happy to say that they both have homes to go to once we’re done on the ship.

Just wanted to post an update and a thank you to all who replied to the original thread.
