Your cat's recent sneezing and coughing noises could be signs of congestion or an upper respiratory infection, which are common in cats but can occasionally indicate more serious issues.
- Monitor your cat for other symptoms like lethargy or loss of appetite.
- Consider trying home remedies like steam therapy for mild cases.
- Consult a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
Cats can suffer from upper respiratory infections, especially if they have been exposed to other cats or are stressed. It's important to monitor your cat closely. You can try simple home remedies such as keeping your cat in a bathroom with a hot shower running nearby to help relieve congestion. However, if your cat's condition doesn't improve, or if she shows more serious symptoms like difficulty breathing, you should consult a veterinarian.
