It sounds like your cat is experiencing frequent sneezing, which can be concerning. While she is still eating and drinking normally, it's important to monitor any changes in her condition.
- Frequent sneezing can have various causes, from allergies to infections.
- Continue to watch for any additional symptoms that may develop.
- Consult a vet if the sneezing persists or worsens.
Sneezing in cats can be caused by a variety of factors including dust, pollen, or even a mild upper respiratory infection. If it's just occasional sneezing with no other symptoms, it might not be a big concern. However, if your cat continues to sneeze frequently or if new symptoms appear, such as discharge from the nose or eyes, it might be time to consult a vet for a more thorough examination. It’s always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your pet’s health.
