14 yr old female coughing or hacking several times a day. Tongue sticks out. Neck extended.
I'm hoping it's not serious. I will take her to the vet, but I really don't have the money.
My other cat occasionally does the same thing, but Cassie is doing it several times a day. She extends her neck out and down, her tongue sticks out and she hacks, like she's trying to get something out. I can't see anything in her throat.
She does have hyperthyroidism,and she's on medication.

With a cat of that age, I wouldn't take chances. I'd have the veterinarian examine her. A veterinarian also will have the equipment, skills, and assistance necessary to properly check your cat's mouth and throat.
