Lets keep this simple, Your kitty probably has an upper resperatory infection, some symptoms include sneezing white or colored discharge from the nose, crust in corner of the eyes, coughing or gaging.
Normally one should take kitty to the vets for some antibiotics, Clavamox is what vets usually recommended.
In very young kittens this problem could be fatal in older cats they will eventually get over it although it is not recommended not to get kitty treated.
Lack of appetite and lazyness is also a side affect, recommend taking the kitty to the vets for some medication.

It might not be a cold...it could be allergies. Sometimes they can get irritated by cleaning stuff, or even from food. You should probably have the doc check it out if it's happening for more than a week...
Yes...cats sneeze...but there's something wrong if it's too frequent. His body is trying to get rid of something.

Very serious, although not serious in humans, these symptoms can be deadly in a cat. I have had several cats die from upper respiratory illness. The symptoms can last a long time and slowly get more serious, or your cat could just lie down for a nap today and stop breathing. It needs immediate veterinary care.

It depends on why this is happening. It maybe an allergy to something or it maybe a cat cold in which case you should take the cat to vet, especially if the cat doesn't want to eat or stops drinking.

Sneezing is also a sign of the Herpes virus. In cats it effects their respitory system and their eyes. I found this out when I took the stray cat I took in to the vet for "watery eyes". They asked me if she sneezed alot b/c that was one of the signs. Herpes is not curable, and is contagous to other cats. It is treatable , so you will need to see a vet.

When a cat does this it is called Distember. NOT GOOD. Highly contagious to other animals. They can die from this because it can turn into a respiratory infection. Get to veterinarian ASAP. You should also have your cat vaccinated for this. They offer combination shots of rabies, distemper and feline lukemia.

the question is how long has he been sneezing, etc. it may be more serious than a cold and he may have an infection. take him to the vet please. my cat became very ill before i realized there was a more serious problem going on. hope he gets better.
