I'll vote an allergy. It's the right time of year and cats suffer from them too.

But if you're worried, take him to the vet for a general checkup.

Yeah, this summer. She was sneezing a lot and with a lot of of water-spray. She was also kind of tired and weak -- leaning against the glass when sitting in the window. The vet said that she probably just had a cold. I kept her in and fed her a lot of tuna and after 4-5 days she was ok.

apple, thanks,

as long as smoke stays healthy other than the sneezing, i'll give him five days to get over a cold before i look into allergy treatments (per cw10) with the vet.

My cat's sneezes seem to coincide with my bad allergy days. I suspect allergies considering the time of year.

My cat's been sneezing for a day. I am not too concerned because he is not off his food. If he was off his food & sneezing, or a bit lethargic I'd probably take him to the vet's after a day or two but he's eating like a champion and is active. So long as your cat's up to date with his booster jabs etc it will probably clear up on its own.

I didn't vote because I'm not qualified to say what's wrong with your cat, I've never even seen him. My cats do that once in a while but one time Winchester was doing it a lot. So I took him to the vet, turns out he had an infection he needed antibiotics for. I would get your kitty check out with a vet who knows how to properly diagnosis him. I hope he gets better whatever it might be.
