The reasons why cats hiccup and twitch:

1. It may be that the cat eats too fast during the eating process, causing the food to become blocked in the esophagus. This causes the cat to hiccup and hiccup.

2. It may also be caused by the cat being stimulated by too much hair in the intestines and stomach and wanting to vomit, but cannot vomit out.

3. Cats infected with parasites can also cause hiccups and convulsions. It is recommended to deworm the cat immediately.

What to do if a cat hiccups:

1. Because the cat burps too much or eats too quickly, the owner needs to control the amount of feeding and observe whether there is improvement.

2. It is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital in time for esophageal X-ray, blood routine and esophageal endoscopy to check whether the cat has congenital physiological structural abnormalities, such as esophageal stenosis, etc.

3. If it is caused by hair balls, you can try to use cat grass and hair removal cream to stimulate gastrointestinal motility and help cats expel hair balls.
