Vets say cigarette smoke, human dandruff and dusty houses can all contribute to breathing problems in the family cat. About one in 200 felines suffers from asthma, compared with one in 12 adults.

As in the human form, it can be worsened by trigger particles such as dust that inflame the airways and make breathing difficult. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
