Correct Answer: His cat coughing up furballs
The answer is: His cat's furballs. Andy Serkis’ memorable performance as Gollum wouldn’t have been possible without another little creature: His cat. According to IMDB, Serkis based Gollum’s distinct voice on the sound his cat made while coughing up furballs — or hairballs, as we call 'em here in the states. Let’s hope Serkis got his cat some extra fancy catnip with some of his paychecks.Source
