next, she is on the floor, coughing. It's not constant, and doesn't strike at any particular time or with any pattern. One moment she's fine, next, she's coughing, then she's done and fine again. Help?

Have you tried hair ball remedy
cats get hair stuck in their throats all of the time
they sell it at the pet store or pet food store
That is the most common reason cats cough

Er, definitely time for a visit to a vet!!
Coughing has a myriad causes. It could be lungworm, asthma, heart trouble, bacterial or viral infection - you need to go to a vet to find out what the problem is. Coughing is far more unusual in cats than in dogs, and it's never a good sign. It needs treatment, and it's impossible for anyone on here to tell you what the problem is.

MY DOG HAD THIS!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure if this is the same thing but it sounds like what my dog had! All the sudden he would start coughing and then he would be fine! FOR STARTERS- You need to get to the vet anyway for treatment now matter what! 2ND- If its what my dog had I would say it's the Kennel Cough. It makes them have coughs, but my dog only had it in little time amounts! Just take the cat to the vet and get her checked and get the treatment for her! GOOD LUCK!

I once had a vet tell me that a cough like that could be a "worm cough". I gave the cat OTC worming medicine and the cough went away.

this test can't hurt, my cat does that all the time when she has a bad hairball, put a dab of syrup on your finger and wipe on her tongue, when she swallows it, it will take all the hair down thru the digestive and track and well...you know. If that doesn't work, then you must take her to the vet.

If she's not being productive, and if a hairball remedy isn't working, take her by the vet's office for an xray to see if she has a blockage.

She is probably trying to cough up a big hairball. That happens to my cats too. Don't worry...just wait untill she coughs it up. =)
