Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 years old
I recently adopted a cat from a shelter and she has been wonderful and hasnt had an issue eating or drinking water. However I have noticed that she makes this really loud gulping noise and I have never experienced this with any animal I have owned. It doesnt seemed to be bothering her at this moment in time. But I am a little concerned. So my question is what could be causing her to gulp like this?

It would be helpful to know if she is making this gulping noise when she is eating and drinking, or does it occur when Ivy's content or purring. If you could please post again with more specific information as to when this gulping behavior occurs, the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach can better help you with your question :-)
