Your Turkish Angora's increased sneezing and scratching could be related to an allergy, possibly triggered by something in the living room environment.
- Environmental allergens like dust, mold, or pollen can cause allergic reactions in cats.
- Household items such as cleaning products or air fresheners might be irritants.
- Monitor for other symptoms like watery eyes or skin redness that could indicate an allergy.
It's quite common for cats to develop allergies to new or existing elements in their environment. Look for new items in the living room that could be culprits, such as new furniture, plants, or changes in cleaning routines. It's also a good idea to ensure the area is dust-free and well-ventilated. Consider consulting with a vet to get a proper diagnosis and tailored advice for managing your cat's symptoms.
