Mom has noticed me sneezing a lot today. No watery eyes or runny nose just sneezing. Its like a series of three small sneezes in a row. do you think mom should worry? Everything else seems normal.
Lots of love,
Ruben

If you dont have any other symptoms than its probably just dust or maybe even a regular cold. If it gets worse, or other symptoms appear check with a vet because it might be an Upper Respiratory Infection

If you don't seem to have other symptoms, there may just be something in the air that is bothering you. Have your windows been open? Sometimes, kitties get allergies like people do and it is that time of year.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. If you keep sneezing or your eyes get runny, then it's time to go see your vet. I know, I know, major yuck, but it's necessary if you get a bad cold.

Hope you just had something irritate you and you aren't sick.

Reuben, how are you feeling. The sneezing may have been due to a kitty URI, but unless you were showing signs of a secondary bacterial infection (congestion, nasal or ocular discharge (with color)) then waiting out the cold is really your best option. Most kitty colds are viruses and antibiotics are only Rx'd to treat the bacterial infections associated with the cold. Your body will still be fighting off the virus in it's own.

hopefully you are feeling better. Please update us.

I agree sounds like dust, if it's a cold you would notice a runny nose x
