Maybe it's just the dried catnip getting up her nose. Try these pellets

It says sneezing is a normal reaction to catnip.

it all depends, is it heavy sneazing like if you threw baking powder in its face of light sneazing like if you poke its nose? if its heavy, i think its the catnip, try a different brand or if its home grown, buy it from the store, my cats never had a problem with the home grown stuff, but they didnt like the store bought stuff, it was like a powder you put into a little toy mouse. if its light, i wouldnt worry about it, but i would heep an eye on him, if it causes him wheazing, i think he might be alergect to it, which is bad, and you might have to get the kind you sprinkle in a small toy, if the stuff sprinkled in the toy causes him problems, then its the nip and not the quality of it. if he still snezes with the toy, im not %100 sure, but i wouldnt give it to him, plus, my cat is a little old, he just trys to eat it, then he gets all freaky!

I have had cats sneeze when they buried their faces in catnip. I don't think it need be a cause for concern.

If it is only sneezing a couple of times, what is it hurting. However, if the sneezing is repetitive, you might have to take it away for good.
We had a cat who loved prawns but she got to the stage that everytime she ate them, she threw up. Although she loved them more than life itself, I had to stop bringing them home.

I understand that the catnip works on cats the same as snuff(a tobacco product), works on people, it not only gives them agood feeling but clears their sinuses as well, it's harmless

They love it. I wouldn't stop giving it to him due to it's good for them. Not everyday though. A couple times a week is better.

Sounds like allergies.
