Why do cats sneeze: how to help your pet
A cat's sneezing can make its owners feel touched.
However, if this continues too often, then you should think about the reasons.
Why does a cat sneeze?
As in the case of humans, sneezing occurs as a protective reaction of the body to the influence of foreign bodies, allergens or as a result of illness.
This reaction itself is not a disease, but it can accompany an infection.
You should contact a veterinarian if your cat rubs its nose with its paw when sneezing, and also suffers from shortness of breath and coughing. Most often, these are symptoms of a cold.
However, sneezing can also be accompanied by more serious symptoms, such as:
- increase in temperature;
- loose stools;
- refusal to eat;
- purulent discharge from the eyes, etc.
If there are no such symptoms, pay attention to the dustiness of the room, as well as the presence of strong odors. The cat's nose is more sensitive than a human's and reacts to everything more strongly, especially when it comes to citrus fruits or household chemicals.
