Cat sneezing - cause for concern?

8 replies

Our cat has been sneezing quite a bit lately. She has no runny nose, eyes clear and fine, eating like a horse, and behaving absolutely normally otherwise.

Any ideas what is causing this? Is it something to worry about? We are going to do a deep clean at the weekend, but tbh the real allergen is her hair!

She was like this back in May, and it seemed to be linked to the cherry blossom trees in our street. It disappeared when the blossom did.

She’s almost seven, all fine at her last check/boosters just before lockdown in March. She does go out but mainly in our back garden, and never further than the immediate neighbours. Always in overnight.

Oh she's gorgeous...those little front legs !
Sorry, no advice apart from admiring your cat 😺

She is a very pretty cat, @Clarich007! I'm sure I'm worrying about nothing - google tells me it's only a problem if she has runny eyes/nose/cough, and she has none of those things.

Like you say it could be an allergy.
One of my neighbours cats has sort of adopted me, and he was so ill with cat flu as a kitten.He was sneezing, coughing, eyes closed and didn't move or interact.
Hope she's ok

Boycat was very sneezy Tuesday & yesterday, but he's absolutely fine now. I think something just irritated his nose & he's sneezed whatever it was out now. This morning it was an itchy ear, but that seems to have resolved itself now as well!

As you can see from that photo, she is in otherwise rude health - absolutely nothing coming over her bar the sneezes. Currently in a sulk because she didn't get as much ham as she wanted while DP was making sandwiches for lunch.

She's not having sneezing fits or anything, just that a few times a day she will do a little snuffle - it tends to be when she gets up from a sleep, or when she steps outside into the garden.

(Typing this made me think of the numerous "continuous cough" type threads...)

May I ask what her name is ?

Saffy. Or Lady Miaowington, to her slaves.
