Question
Hi
  We have a 6 year old cat. For the past few days she is sneezing allot. I think that it is worse at night, but that could be that I notice it more when the house is quite. Other then the sneezing she seems like her normal self. We did have a 2 year male cat, but he went missing 3 weeks ago, but he seemed fine. Should I be worried about her sneezing, she is a much loved children pet.
Thank you for your time

You should have your examined by a veterinarian.  There may be a foreign body in the nose that is causing him to sneeze.   Allergies may also be the culprit.  Your vet can determine  the cause of your cat's sneezing.
