Why is my cat coughing, gurgling, vomiting, and passing bloody stool?

Question

My cat has passed a couple of hard grass stems with seeds in blood streaked stool. She retched then coughs up white froth plus grass blade before breakfast. If she doesn't do this, she often regurgitates her meal. She also has distressing intermittent spells of 5 minute long of coughing and gurgles.

The symptoms you have described including regurgitation, blood in stool, coughing and gurgling are concerning for esophageal dysfunction and gastroenteritis. The underlying cause will likely require x-rays, bloodwork, and an abdominal ultrasound to rule in or out an intestinal obstruction, inflammation of the pancreas, or primary intestinal disease including infection, inflammation or even cancer. Please follow up with your veterinarian to discuss diagnostics and therapy.
