Why is my cat dry heaving but not throwing up, and acting normal?

Question

Hello there, my cat randomly started dry heaving on Sunday but nothing is coming out. She is eating fine, drinking plenty, feces looks normal, she has no runny nose or watery eyes. I am very worried about what could be happening to her. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 1 month old

Poor Pumpkin. She may be nauseous. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the dry heaving continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting, has a loss of appetite, or becomes lethargic, have her seen by a vet.
