My cat is hacking, it sounds wet and is coming from her stomach. She's had it for 2 days now and I can't seem to find a reason why

Good day, cats can have issues with hair balls, especially if they have long hair. They can have a becterial infection that results in coughing. I have also see cats with a foreign body in their throat. She might also be nauseous and tries to vomit. Heart or lung disease can also sound like wet cough too. After all that said, I suggest a veterinary exam shortly. You veterinarian may consider an X-ray to investigate little deeper if the detailed exam does not give him/her an immediate answer for you. Best luck and recovery to Minnie.
