It sounds like your nursing cat is experiencing sneezing and watery eyes while otherwise remaining healthy. These symptoms could indicate a mild allergy or an upper respiratory issue.
- Monitor symptoms closely in case they worsen.
- Ensure the living environment is clean and dust-free.
- Consider allergens like new cleaning products or plants.
Respiratory symptoms such as sneezing and watery eyes in cats can often be attributed to allergies or mild infections. Since your cat is still eating well and doesn’t have a fever, it’s likely not a serious issue at this time. However, maintaining a clean environment and monitoring the symptoms is crucial. If any new symptoms arise or current ones worsen, a veterinary consultation would be beneficial to rule out other causes such as infections that could require treatment.
