Question
my cat keeps making the gagging face and shes done it before but it was gone later. but somehow she has a person hair stuck in her throat. how can i help her out. shes eating and drinking fine. just need some help please

Answer
April,

I am not a vet, and it is probably nothing, but another possible cause for this gagging noise is the bordatella (kennel cough) bacterium.  This can be cured with the right course of antibiotics.  I would take your cat to your vet just to make sure it is nothing serious.

Best regards... Norm.
