Cats’ senses are generally more sensitive compared to humans therefore anything with strong smell and undesirable taste can make them gag, but accidentally ingesting something toxic and other issues can also cause them to gag.
Listed below are some of the factors that may cause a gagging reflex:
●Cigarettes or vape
Cigarette smoke and ashes can stick to their fur and can be ingested while they are grooming themselves. Chemicals and additives from vapes become airborne and can also stick to their fur.
●Scented cat litter or cat litter box liners
Some avoid using scented litter products to avoid such problems.
●Laundry products
Almost all types of laundry detergent and soaps have strong scents of perfumes that can linger around for a long time on your clothes, bedsheets, curtains, and cushion covers. This smell can overpower your cats’ sensitive sense of smell that can cause them to gag and sneeze.
Frequent episodes of gagging must warrant a visit to your vet clinic Louisville KY.
