Can cats get hiccups?

(8 posts)

  1. Biddy has been making a noise this morning. I thought at first he was coughing up a furball but upon further inspection it seems he has the hiccups. Is there anything I can do for him? I know how to get rid of them in humans... hold the breath... but getting a cat to hold his breath well that just isn't going to happen. Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Liz

  2. My kitties have had them before too! I don't know of anything that you can do...

  3. Yup! Try scratching his ears or any other purr triggers.

  4. Molly has had them, and looked so surprised! I clapped my hands to get her attention and they stopped.

  5. Max gets hiccups all the time! It's so funny. He's never had any problems with them.

  6. Dot had them...just wait they will stop! (At least it doesn't cause any after-the-fact toss up residue!)

  7. Add these to the burps & farts and they can start a band!
