Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. What you are describing could be Lumi trying to cough up a hairball. I would recommend using a product such as feline Laxatone which can be found online quite easily. If there is no improvement or Lumi worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
