Cats throw up for several reasons including underlying kidney disease, an upset stomach, heart disease, or even an infection. The next best step is to take Minnie to your vet for a thorough exam and some diagnostic testing to help determine the underlying cause. Once we know what the cause of her cough is, then we can devise a treatment plan to hopefully get her better soon. I wish you all the best moving forward with Minnie and hope that she feels better soon! Take care.
