When a coin is rubbed along the teeth of a comb, the cat gags. Can somebody explain?

Pretty simple. The comb has microskopic dandruff on it an the cat simply smells it. Cats have a million time more smell receptors. As most likely the hair of a human smells different (bad) for it, the at gets the reflex of throwing up a hairball. That's like if you smell something rotten and want to throw up.
Bernhard idea is interesting.
My first thought was that the cat is reminded of another cat gagging from the sound and, as many humans experience, someone else throwing up makes us feel like gagging.
