Sneezing - Help!

[adviceneeded1990]

Ok, so a couple of months ago my husband adopted cat #3. It has come from a situation where the owner could no longer keep it but has been previously very well looked after. He’s around 7-8 years old and in good health, except for the fact that he sneezes constantly! My house, flooring, walls, etc are constantly having to be scrubbed clean of cat bogies!! It doesn’t seem to bother him at all and he apparently only has one known allergy to hay (we don’t have any hay in the house or garden?!). I’m going to book a vet appointment but do any wise minds in the litter tray have any ideas? I love him to bits and we are definitely keeping him but I need the bogies to stop, I’m boaking cleaning my floors and currently TTC; this is not a situation likely to be improved by pregnancy 🙈😅 help!

I'm afraid to say that he's really not in good health and should have seen the vet as soon as you got him.

While the odd sneeze is normal in cats, discharge and bogeys are absolutely not normal and point to an underlying infection.

Thank you! Will see if I can move vet appointment forward! Previous owner said he’d always been quite “sneezy” but they’d put it down to hay allergy due to living across road from stables. But we’re a mile and a half from the stables and it doesn’t seem to be improving.

We used to have a sneezy cat. No cause was found for it. It didn't bother her or us. She was a lovely cat.

There's a difference between sneezing without discharge and sneezing with it, iyswim.

The fact that the cat is sneezing bogeys everywhere probably means there's a respiratory infection going on somewhere - should be easily treatable but not very pleasant for the cat I would imagine:
