Your kitty could be having a hair ball. Cats usually try to move a hair ball coughing and then regurgitate it. This does not always work, Get some hair ball remedy from a petshop or fro m your veterinarian and give it according to the instructions on the tube. This helps eliminate the hair via feces. if your kitty keeps coughing, or shows a discharge from the eyes or nose, or gets lethargic and appears ill, I encourage you to take her to a veterinarian for an exam.
