F2 indigestion?

Recently my 11 month old F2 seems to make a regurgitation sound especially soon after he eats. He does eat extremely fast and I've read some things about air possibly getting in with his food? He was neutered three months ago I am checked out fine his appetite is fine everything else seems fine should I be worried?

Only if he's showing other issues like puking after wolfing down his meals?

There's slow feeder bowls for dogs that work just as well for cats... or you can try feeding pieces of raw meat as that generally takes them longer to chew off hunks off a larger piece of meat?

No throwing up he eats fine activity fine Just get scary seeing him laying on the couch sometimes I see and especially hear it

Nothing ever comes out and looks like he swallows sometimes after. I've read some things about heart murmurs with fluid building up but it sure doesn't seem like a cough coming from the Lung it seems like it's coming from the stomach

I'm a fan of paranoia when it comes to my cats...I'd rather take to the vet with a concern and be told I'm imagining things, than ignore early signs of something serious. So, if you are concerned, I'd make an appointment... the cost of the visit is the cost of peace of mind :)

If you are only noticing this right after eating then I agree with Brigitte to try one of the slow feeders to see if it helps or resolves the issue. If not, then yes - a vet visit is probably in order.
