However, if you note that the apple of your eye has not jumped up the last few times on seeing you, it may be a warning sign that is something is wrong and you need to have it checked to avoid any further complications.

Coughing or vomiting
A cat could throw up a fur ball may be now and then, but if the vomiting continues at the rate of more than once in a month, it could be an indication of inflammatory bowel disease or kidney failure as well. Coughing is not normal and this could be an indication of asthma and could further lead to a chronic lung disease that could lead to death.

Dogs could vomit more often, every time they over eat. But, if your little pooch starts vomiting few times a day, it could be possible, that a foreign object is stuck in its intestines or stomach. Dogs cannot develop asthma, so coughing could indicate bronchitis, a heart problem, pneumonia or the tracheal collapse
