I have had my cat 3 weeks. In that time she has been sick twice and once she sarted wheezing. Someone aid the wheezing was probably just due to a furball.

Try putting a little butter or vasiline on her front paw (about 1/2 teaspoon.) your little one will lick it off. I do this to my cat once a week and have had no problems

This sounds pretty similar to something my adult male cat experienced, although he was quite a bit older when we first noticed the symptoms. When we took him to the vet we were told that he had asthma--we had to get him to take a pill when he had an attack, and occasionally a few doses of prednisone, but he didn't need daily medication. The only difference I noticed between the hairball and asthma hacking was the length of his hacking and severity of the wheezing. I'm sure there could be other explanations as well. I would keep track of how often this occurs and let your vet know what is going on. If it is only hairballs, at least you'll have some peace of mind.

cats wheeze for many reasons, furballs or vomiting is one of them. See a vet if its 3 weeks and nothings come up, (though look under the bed- with gloves- if you think you havent found anything.)

Has the cat been to the vets for a check up?? Don't take any chances that she might have feline leukemia. And get her shots. Wheezing could be a number of different things.

My cats do that all the time, the strange wheezing thing. Does her tongue stick out too when she does it?
Although, I must say, I have NEVER seen a furball pop out of any of mine xD

it could be a hairball. it could also be feline asthma or another type of respiratory infection. i had a cat with asthma and he would wheeze after really strenuous activity (such as running around a lot). i suggest talking to your vet about the possibility of it being asthma or a respiratory infection... if it's an infection- there are meds for that. good luck!

It could also be due to a respiratory infection, which is common in cats that lived in a shelter. She should see a vet to get a proper diagnosis and medication if needed.
