Miss Chloe has been sneezing for the past couple of days and I'm a little
concerned. Her eyes are clear, her behavior is normal, she's eating, she's
drinking, she's playing, her litterbox habits are normal, but I hear about 3
rapid sneezes every hour or so.

Anyone have any ideas? Since she appears fine in every other way, I'm just
hoping it's a simple cold.

Monique Y. Mudama...
Maybe she's getting somewhere dusty?


EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)...
More likely an allergic reaction to something in the air!
(Cats get them, too.) In this heatwave (which seems to be
affecting most of the globe), depending upon where you live,
there may be air-quality problems, smoke from nearby brush
fires, or pollen from plants blosssoming earlier than normally.

It could be an alergy like hay fever, purrs it doesn't worry her.


Will in New Haven...
We have five cats and they pass the sneezing fits around. There is
almost always one cat who is sneezing, on occasion two. Thank Ghu it is
never all of them and it isn't always the same ones. Although Missy
doesn't seem to be much of a sneezer, come to think of it. The vet has
said that it seems like a cold is circulating among them.

kilikini...
Huh, okay. Do your cats act perfectly normal when they have the cold?

Winnie...
Rusty was diagnosed with a cold once. I forgot whether he sneezed, but
something was
be bothering him or I wouldn't have taken him to the vet. So no he
didn't act normal at the
time.


jmcquown...
I hope it's just a cold or hay fever. Sounds like it might be since she's

Will in New Haven...
Maggie May is the only one who acts anything LIKE perfectly normal with
or without the cold. I guess that the sneezers are a tiny bit less
active and a little bit more needy about petting but not much
difference.
