Thank you for submitting your question regarding Timone. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian. It is unusual for cats to cough. Typically they sneeze with afflicted with an upper respiratory tract infection. While this could be still be the case, he could also have asthma or a hairball. I hope this information helps!
