sneezing...allergy or cold!

[Kallies mom]

My cat has been sneezing a lot for the the last 2 days...series of 3-5 about twice an hour. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/eek.gif Her respiration is clear and so are her eyes. I am new to owning a cat. Can this be spring allergies or does she have a cold. Is there anything I can do for her?

If you got the cat from a shelter, you may want to call them. I am by no means even a vet assistant, but sneezing could be a number of things. It sounds like you are describing the cat as appearing to be healthy and normal weight - my assumption. The cat probably should see a vet. If the stools in the litter box are not brown, that is a warning sign that the cat is ill.
Hi Spencer..thanks for the reply. I have had Kallie since September and she is healthy and getting a little meaty http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif. Yes she came from a shelter but she had a cold when I got her and she had the runny eyes and the whole gammit. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/eek.gif Her stools are fine, she is eating. The only thing I can see is the sneezing. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/confused.gif

K's mom-

It could be allergies,
or it could be one of these: http://www.animalhealthchannel.com/felinechlamydiosis/ http://www.animalhealthchannel.com/rhinotracheitis/ http://www.animalhealthchannel.com/calicivirus/
Your best bet, if it lasts for more than a few days, is to seek advice from your vet. I hope she feels better soon, and good luck!
