Why does my cat keep sneezing?

If your cat keeps sneezing, it may be due to viral infection, inhalation of irritating odors or foreign objects, colds, etc.

First of all, if the cat has not been vaccinated or has insufficient antibodies in the body, it may be due to feline rhinotracheitis that causes the cat to sneeze all the time. Feline rhinotracheitis is a disease caused by infection with the feline herpes virus, which mainly causes upper respiratory tract symptoms in cats, including sneezing, increased eye and nasal secretions, tearing, coughing and other symptoms.

Secondly, if the cat's sneezing is concentrated in a certain period of time, it is generally considered that it has inhaled irritating gases or foreign objects have entered the nasal cavity. When there is an irritating smell in the cat's living environment, it will also cause the cat to sneeze, such as perfume, air freshener, aromatherapy, etc.

Finally, if the cat has been fully vaccinated, it may also be a common cold that causes the cat to sneeze all the time. Colds can cause cats to sneeze, runny nose and other symptoms. If the cold symptoms are mild, the cat may recover on its own. However, if the cold symptoms are severe, the cat needs to be treated with medication in time. It is recommended that the cat be taken to a pet hospital for differential diagnosis, and then symptomatic treatment drugs are used. The owner should not use human medications on the cat without authorization to avoid delaying the disease.
