Do I take sneezy kitty to the vet?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi! Out 5yo cat has been sneezing a lot the last two or three days. He's an indoor guy, acting fine otherwise--do cats get colds? Should I take him to the vet?
Thanks for any input.

My indoor cat has gone through sneezing episodes in the past, usually after a move to a new place. She would sneeze a lot for 2-3 weeks, and then it would stop pretty much overnight. I never took her to the vet for it because she was eating normally the whole time and didn't seem to be in any pain. It was more annoying than anything, especially when she would sit on my lap, go into a sneezing fit, and we'd both end up covered with a fine mist of cat snot.

Our cat got the flu once. But she was very lethargic, had a dry nose, wouldn't eat or drink, in addition to the sneezing. The vet gave us some meds for her & it cleared up a few days later. So, yes, cats can get colds/flu. If it's just sneezing, though, I wouldn't worry.
