A cat that keeps sneezing does not necessarily mean that it is sick. It may be due to pungent odors in the air, colds, respiratory viral diseases, etc. First of all, if there are irritating smells such as perfume, air freshener, and aromatherapy around the cat, it will cause the cat to sneeze. At this time, it is recommended that the owner ventilate the cat, which usually relieves it after a few minutes. Secondly, if a cat catches a cold or has calicivirus, it will cause frequent sneezing. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

What are the reasons why cats keep sneezing:

1. Allergy. Just like us humans, cats are affected by allergens in their environment. Cats sneeze when they smell irritants, just like people sneeze when they smell pepper. Certain smoke or vapors in the air can make cats sneeze. Usually this kind of sneeze is a one-time occurrence, so the owner does not need to worry. Cats with allergic diseases will sneeze more frequently than other normal cats.

2. Viral infection. If your cat spends a lot of time outdoors and comes into contact with other feral cats, be aware that your cat may be infected with herpes virus or calicivirus. Both viruses are highly contagious in cats and can cause symptoms such as a runny nose and frequent sneezing.

3. Feline calicivirus infection. When cats are infected, they will have symptoms of sneezing, runny nose and fever. In severe cases, it may also be accompanied by stomatitis, resulting in decreased appetite and increased salivation.
