When last we left my interpid, nearly 16-year-old kitty she was having tummy problems and we'd switched her to wet food. She now hungrily and eagerly consumes her 4oz can of Wellness "chicken herring" each morning with healthy and hearty delight. Tummy problems have lessened considerably, but still persist intermittently (she tosses her cookies) with the dry food we give her to eat during the rest of the day. (Remember that we had a problem with giving her a can of wet to eat at night because we don't know exactly when we'll be home each evening). I'm not sure what to do about that. Sometimes she nibbles on the dry and is fine, sometimes not. Switch to a different dry food?

The latest: She's sneezing. A lot.

She did have a sneezing bout (I think) prior to us giving her wet food), and these bouts seem to come and go, but she just keeps sneezing. She never had anything like this before. She sneezes and sneezes and sneezes. We're talking almost all week long. :(

Once again, she's healthy, happy, runs around like a kitten, purrs like mad when snuggling, and in spite of what looks like some stiffness in her hip joints, still manages to leap about. Any thoughts on why she should be sneezing? There is a lot of dust around, but our place is the sort that gets a lot of dust as a matter of course. It never gave her trouble before. Nor has she ever had spring hayfever before. :confused:
 
I have had a lot of experience with sneezing cats, but always with kittens. It is usually a respiratory infection. The vet can prescribe antibiotics for it.
 
Revenge!

Finally, it's happened.
There's a cat that's allergic to humans!!
:D
Um... Sorry, couldn't resist. I love cats, but I'm highly allergic.

I'd recommend calling your vet. They can ask you questions that'll help determine whether it's something she needs to be seen for or if it's nothing really to worry about.
