Question
I have a 9 year old male cat and I have noticed for the past 3 days, he has been sneezing. He only sneezes once or twice a day and has no mucus coming out of the nose. He has a normal appetite and is playful. What can be causing the sneezing? Thank You!
Hi Jenny!
Cats can have allergies and that may be the sneezing problem, but since it's only a few times a day then I wouldn't worry about it. If there was a cruddy nose and eyes along with the sneezing, then you would need to take him to the Vet. Cats are prone to upper respiratory problems, but if you get him vaccinated yearly, you really shouldn't have any problems. I would just watch him and make sure that it's just a little sneeze and not something else.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
