We have a 4 year old long hair black cat that was given to us two years ago. She recently just started going outside because we also decieded to take on two little kittens. I must say she has always been a withdrawn from people and quite shy. Just with in the last two days she has started coughing and throwiing up hair balls. Which is quite common because of her long hair. But The coughing hasn't stopped and she is wheezing now. I haven't seen her eat today though I did yesterday. She has withdrawn from people and stays in the basement where my oldest son sleeps. We are worried there maybe something wrong. But because I'm a single mom raising two kids by my self I don't have the money to just take her in to the vet. We thought we would ask you if there could be more of a problem.
