Seeing a kitty sneeze is actually pretty cute, but thinking that your furry friend is getting sick isn't.
Just as with humans, the occasional sneeze is nothing to be concerned about, but if sneezing won't stop, it could be a sign of more serious problems.
And again like humans, cats can also suffer from allergies as a result of exposure to pollen, dust, mold, candles, smoke, litter, perfume and cleaners. These allergens may also cause itchy skin, watery eyes and runny noses in your cat.
Since you cannot blow your cat's nose, letting your pet sneeze is the best way to help them remove irritants from their nasal passage.
If you notice your cat sneezing often, it is important to pay attention to your pet's surroundings and contact your veterinarian if problems persist.
