Coughing cats are definitely a concern. Many things can cause cough in your cats, but I certainly worry about viral upper respiratory infections, FIP ( which fills their chest with fluid), and possibly birth defects that are becoming more apparent as they grow. An examination by a veterinarian and likely chest x-rays would be important for your kitten. I hope she improves!
