Does this mean she is very very sick or is it something she is likely to get over? She is an inside cat and only very rarely gets out.

Wait a few days and see. Cats get colds sort of like people do. If she seems ok, wait it out. If anything else changes, like eating, drinking, sleeping, bathrooming habits, then see a vet.

When I first adopted my shelter cats they sneezed a lot. Both had been treated for a respiratory infection that had gone around the shelter. So yes, it is possible for cats to catch a cold but usually in very close quarters (just like humans!).
My cats seemed to eventually get over their sneezing and now I rarely hear them. However, if you start to see drainage from her nose I would definitely take her to the vet.
I noticed that my cats both seemed to stop sneezing once they got more fresh air. If she's an indoor kitty, make sure she's in a room with plenty of fresh air and circulation. It could be the dust that 's making her sneeze.
Good luck!

Depends how long she's been sneezing, if she has watery/pussy eyes with it then it could be cat flu, if her ears are really warm she has a temp. There is treatment for cat flu, it's not really a major worry unless it's quite advanced.
But having said that, I once had a cat that sneezed on and off for months, until the vet found a piece of grass somehow in his nose. A long one.

no this dont mean the cat is very sick... seen the cat is an inside cat it isnt used to been outside, so when the cat goes out side it will smell different things just like exporling.... i m guessing that the cat has smelt something outside and it has stayed in its nose.. its just like humans geting hay fever... the cat will get over it in time. if it gets worse or more frequantly i suggest you see a vet... Goodluck with your cat.

O.K., you said she is an indoor cat & rarely gets outdoors..... Now just because she is an indoor cat I still have to ask whether or not she is up to date on her vaccinations????
FIV/FVRC-P & RABIES????? Even for an indoor cat these vaccinations are important as are having them spayed &/OR neutered. It ONLY TAKES ONCE!!!!
Monitor the cat to be sure she is eating & drinking regularly. Watch her for lithargy. Also, check her eyes & nose for discharge. Cats can devlope allergies just like people, but keep an eye on her. If you notice an change in any of these things, I would recommend a visit to your vet. If she is not vaccinated, I would recomment a visit to the vet anyway for FIV/FVRC-P tests & vaccinations, feline aids & feline leukemia are contagious, be sure she is protected....

my cat caught a cold once for about a week. She eventually got over it, but the funniest thing would happen, she would be outside hunting birds and hiding in a bush, and you would hear her sneeze followed by the birds flying off the top of the bush. Very comical to see.

What are you able to in all probability assume human beings to assert with an define like that? Your cats are sick, suffering and loss of existence. You declare your purely strategies are do no longer something or pay a vet 1000's of greenbacks to do tests. you assume human beings to have faith you took those cats to the vet and he/she presented you no different help? Take a tiny little bit of accountability on your puppy and visit a vet, even with the undeniable fact that that's in all probability too previous due. looks such as you have "enjoyed" 2 of your cats to a depressing, suffering loss of existence and are engaged on the 0.33 one.

It's possible that she is allergic to something. Especially Siamese cats have a bigger tendency to become allergic so it's possible.
If her sneezing doesn't stop in a couple of hours you should probablly take her to the vet (Just In Case). Also just try to get her to relax and offer some water and if possible see if she has a temperature or not.

Cats are fantastic creatures at hiding sickness and pain.
Because of this, you should consider even the most mild of symptoms to be 10X worse than they really are.
However, as long as she is grooming herself (It's BAD when they stop), eating well, drinking and using the potty, I doubt it's anything serious. If she starts vomiting for any length of time, be worried.

Sneezing is not a terribly serious symptom. If she is still eating and eliminating OK I think you can just watch her to see if other symptoms occur.
She could be reacting to some dust or other allergen. She could be developing a case of flu. So just be aware of her behavior tonight and tomorrow. Give your vet a call and see if he thinks it might be more serious.
If she has had vaccinations and stays close to home I think she probably will resolve this herself in short order.
