cat coughs while purring
Did the google search, found zip, so:
My 7 month old, spayed (month ago), FeLV+ otherwise in apparent good health (all vaccinations up to date except FeLV) female Burmese has a strong tendency to cough during heavy petting sessions. (That sounds weird but you know what I mean...) She doesn't always do it, only about 90% of the time, usually when I'm scratching her head (favorite spot). It's frustrating for her (and me), and when I stop petting her she'll cough a bit more then stop until she purrs heavily again. The cough sounds chest-deep, like a hacking cough. She might have a touch of URI (weepy eyes) for which she's been treated in recent past but not presently. The coughing-while-purring event has been going on for at least a month, maybe more - I can't recall when I first noticed it, just that it's not recent. Appetite fine, activity level very high (leaps tall walls at a single bound...), no other symptoms. She is a small cat, weighing a bit more than 5 lbs, but her mom was petite, too. Any thoughts?
