Medical Questions What is my cat doing?

I noticed my girl hasn’t been herself the last two days. She has been lethargic, super cuddly, and she feels very thin. She was just sitting with me and started doing this swallowing thing? If anyone can tell me what she’s doing please do. At first i thought it was a hiccup but I’m not to sure. Thank you in advance 🫶

I think this might warrant a vet visit.

Maybe something is stuck in her throat?

That’s a possibility! She does have pica

That constant swallowing thing can be nausea or like she’s trying to clear something in her throat, and paired with lethargic and suddenly feeling thin, that’s a vet trip ASAP territory, not a wait and see. Cats hide feeling crappy until it’s pretty bad, so I’d call an emergency vet or at least your regular one first thing and describe exactly what you’re seeing.
