Cats typically use their posture and coughing to dislodge something they are choking on, not their paws. It's really just like humans, except humans often get up while coughing, and cats hunker down. For both, the muscles of respiration and coughing are used first. And, the Heimlich Maneuver can be used on humans, cats, or dogs if unable to dislodge the object via coughing OR if the person or animal cannot get air.

NOTE: Unlodge is not a word. The correct word is dislodge.
