how to save a chok­ing cat

excerpt

Chok­ing can be life threat­en­ing for your cat. The harder a chok­ing cat tries to breathe, the more pan­icky he or she can become. A cat owner’s goal is to open the air­way with­out being bit­ten.
If you are uncer­tain whether your cat is chok­ing, some signs to look for include the cat paw­ing at his or her mouth, a pale or blue cat tongue, obvi­ous dis­tress, and uncon­scious­ness. If your cat is chok­ing, use the fol­low­ing cat care tips.

Step 1: Approach the cat care­fully. If your cat is ner­vous or anx­ious, restrain the cat if necessary.

Step 2: Clear the cat’s airway.
