    I just got done going thru this with all 3 of my cats,the one who isn't overweight being less affected. They got a cold and the new house is bigger than the other one and has more dust,no carpet like the other house,and they each got the sneezes,the most overweight one suffering longer. It started with just some sneezes and then a few days later it got bad. They get thru it on their own,by sleeping all the time and they may not eat for a day or two,but they all came thru it just fine. My vet recommended a humidifier to keep the dust down and no smoking around them.

    You may have heard your cat sneeze and if you’ve heard stories about how deadly flu is to cats you’ll be extremely worried but just like humans cats sneeze for various reasons and doesn’t necessary mean that they are ill. How many times have you sneezed without it turning into a full blown cold or flu?

    Your Cat many Sneeze for the following reasons

    •Respiratory infection

    •Foreign object blocking your cats nasal passage

    •Had contact with a bacteria called Boratella, this also makes humans sneeze as well as cats.

    •Chemicals or dust in the environment

    •Seasonal changes, such as pollen - yes cats can have allergies too

    Sneezing accompanied by other symptoms could indicate a health problem for your cat, such as swollen eyes or glands and we suggest that you check these symptoms out with your local vets. If your cat is sneezing blood, contact your vet immediately for further advice.

    Like humans if cats sneeze because they have cold, you should also notice other symptoms such as a lack of appetite, slowness of moment, if you concerned speak to your vet and remember to prevent your cat contracting more serious illnesses make sure they are up to date with their vaccinations.

    I would take him to the vet to get a check-up just in case. You can take him to your vet or in there is a VCA hospital in your city you can go there, the first exam for new customers is free. Check online, they have a website
