Sneezing and lethargy in cats can be worrying, especially if your usually active sphinx is suddenly acting different. These symptoms could indicate several things, from a simple cold to something more significant like an upper respiratory infection. While some sneezing and temporary fatigue might resolve on their own, persistent or worsening symptoms warrant a vet's attention to ensure there's no underlying issue.
