Cats can drool and sneeze for a variety of reasons, including upper respiratory infections, dental problems, or even foreign objects stuck in their mouth or nose. While it might be something simple like a mild cold, persistent or worsening symptoms could indicate a more serious underlying issue. It's important to keep an eye on her eating and drinking habits, any signs of lethargy, or discharge from the eyes or nose.
