Hippie Hedgehog

Ever cuddled a hedgehog?
I don't want to alarm you or anything, and don't have any veterinary expertise so take this with a grain of salt, but...

In humans, unexplained coughing fits in an older individual is a very typical way for some lung cancers to present.

I don't think treatment would be in the cards for a 16-year-old cat, but if you have insurance that would cover it you might want to get it looked at so you can get a prognosis. He might be able to live with it for a long time without suffering much, but if I were you I'd want to know what was going on.
