Do cats hiccup?

Cats will hiccup. Cat hiccups are a normal body reaction. Generally, kittens hiccup more frequently than adult cats. Cats will make a chirping sound when they hiccup. Cat hiccups usually occur after meals. This is because the cat inhaled gas while eating, so when the gas in the body wants to be discharged, the cat will burp or fart.
