Hiccups :any problem?

My cats has hiccups eventually after eating. Is it common?
Is that caused by air she swallows together with the food ,since she use to eat fast?
Can other  kinds of  Hiccups mean problems somehow?

Jade, things are not that bad here, she never looks like vomiting.Its just something fast, and do not worry me. At this moment I only get a little worried when she sneezes,but fortunatelly it seldon happens.
Since eyes are ok and the smell sense QUITE GOOD, she's probably not cold.
Pip, Loreena is not afraid of other cat eating her food cos she's the only here, but she knows the food will disappear after 30m and will only be back next meal time - except if I consider she ate quite few OR she gets me to give some more during the day by using those feline tricks that almost always make us spoil them ;-)

Jade seems to hiccup sometimes too.  Often, I think she is getting ready to vomit and when that doesn't happen, I can see it's just hiccups.

The by now semi-famous Teia seems to hiccup sometimes after she eats.

I think it is likely that she wolfs down her food...residual fear that the other cats may come and steal it.

The spells last only a half minute or so, and she seems none the worse for wear.
