If a person sneezes, they may guess that it is a cold. So, if a cat sneezes, will it be a cold? That is not necessarily the case. There are many reasons for cats to sneeze, and they cannot be generalized. It needs to be judged according to the situation. Today I will share with you some popular science about cats sneezing.

There are many reasons why cats sneeze. In short, frequent sneezing is definitely abnormal. Owners can pay more attention to the cat’s recent situation to find out the triggers and solve them.

　1. Smell stimulation

Cats have a very good sense of smell, which is not on the same level as humans. They can smell farther and smell more. If there is an irritating smell, some people will feel uncomfortable sneezing when they smell it. Similarly, cats who are more sensitive than humans will feel it first and sneeze. Therefore, when a cat suddenly sneezes frequently, you can first check the nearby environment to see if there are any pungent smells such as aromatherapy or smoke that cause the cat to sneeze. Just remove the smell and the cat will recover on its own after a while.

2. Foreign bodies in the nasal passages

If a cat is irritated by a foreign object in its nose, it will also cause frequent sneezing. Although this is relatively rare, you still need to check the cat's nasal passages. If any foreign object is found, just remove it.

3. Chronic rhinitis

If your cat sneezes frequently but does not have a runny nose or other problems, it may have chronic rhinitis. Just like people suffering from rhinitis, it is difficult to cure. You need to take medication according to the seriousness. It is recommended to use nose drops directly into the nostrils to relieve the pain and gradually cure it.

4. Common respiratory infections

If sneezing is accompanied by a runny nose, it is most likely a respiratory infection, also known as a cold. How to judge whether a cat has a cold? You can judge based on recent behavior and symptoms. If you have had a cold recently or been in contact with a sick cat, it is most likely that it has a cold. Generally, respiratory infections will be accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and watery eyes, and can be treated with doceterine, Sono, and agenatelin.
