Has anyone ever had a cat with asthma?

My 11 month old cat has been coughing. She’s done it 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months. At first I got extremely worried and thought she was choking but then she stopped. The second time my partner said it was a hairball, i can’t remember if she’s done it once or twice since then but I just saw a video of a cat having an asthma attack and it sounds exactly what happens to her and now I’m worried.

I am going to take her to the vets to get checked out but I just wondered what I could expect if she does have asthma? Life long medication? Will this impact her life at all? She is insured for 5k per condition per year. I wonder if the 5k will cover tests and medication though. I’m basically just trying to mentally prepare myself for what might happen, so any experiences are welcome :)

I thought my late cat had it. As she did exactly what you describe. I also saw Videos of cats with asthma, and she looked identical. I manger to film an episode and showed the vet, who said it wasn't asthma. For some reason it pretty much stopped as she got older.
