She could be getting sick, or just has the sneezes. If her eyes start having goo come out, or her nose, or if she starts not acting herself then I would take her to the vet. If its only sneezing your fine.

You should let your vet check her for upper respiratory issues.
I'm not a terrific housekeeper by any standards at all
Since she's a kitten, you should be getting her regular series of vaccinations anyway, so make sure to address this on your next visit. If you don't have one scheduled, make an appointment. Part of the basic vaccines are specifically for upper-respiratory issues.
An informative site is below. Don't put off a vet check, because if she has had her first shots, she could be reacting to them, but why risk her health? Better safe than sorry.
Best wishes to you and kitty

My kittens did the same thing all the time too, but the vet said that was normal. You can always call a vet and ask over the phone though.

Our kitten did the samething. They get respitory infections (virus or bacteria) from being in tight areas with other cats like in the pet store or humane sociaty. The vet will give you medicine but if its a virus it won't help. Just make sure its eating and drinking water.

She probably has allergies to something around your house. Its no big deal, my cat used to do that, but she stopped. During a certain season there might be more sneezing, b/c they react more to those bacteria.
Doesn't it sound so cute when they sneeze?

Zeusbark is right. Try cleaning under and behind the furniture where she plays and see if that doesn't help her sneezing. All cats sneeze every now and again.

Our cat has allergies. He is always sneezing. His eyes swell shut. We have drops we give him.
Your kitten could have a respiratory infection. This is like pneumonia for cats. If it has this it could be fatal. It wouldn't hurt to get him her checked. Good Luck

I don't know maybe she has some allergies that you don't know about or maybe she is a little sick......... since i don't know the right answer from this info you gave me i would really consider you going to the vet with her just to check since your unsure...... I'm sure they'll tell you what's wrong with your kitten.

I have had many kittens, and they do sneeze, but not that frequently. I'm not sure of any sites you can go to though that may have the answer, but don't worry, i'm sure someone here will have the answer.

Since she doesn't otherwise act like she's feeling bad, I'm inclined to agree that she has some kind of allergy, either dust or pollen if this is a new thing.
