My cat is coughing often, but I don't see hairballs. Should I worry?

Question

Don't know if I should be worried but I have a cat we found about 3 years ago about a year and a half ago she started coughing and I thought it was just a hair ball but now I'm worried because I've never actually seen or picked up a hair ball and I also notice the coughing happens more often several times a day should I be worried? Also her box is clean she has food and water she dosent have a lack of apitite so that might be good thanks for your time. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Coughing can be a sign of many conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, heart disease, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Mercy evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include thoracic radiographs and bloodwork. Treatment would be dependent on findings. Good luck and have a good day!
