My cat has been sneezing uncontrollably the past few days. All of a sudden, he just started sneezing, and has seemingly never stopped. His breathing sounds like he has a stuffy nose, but I don't know if that is such a thing for cats?
Does anyone know what might be up, and if a trip to the vet should be in order?
Thanks!

It sounds like your kitty may have a respiratory infection. Take him to the vet they most likey will put him on antibiotics.

Yes a trip to the vet is in order. I just went through this with my cats. The antibiotics wont fix the cold but they will prevent a second infection that usually comes along with them getting a cold. I would try bringing your kitty in the bathroom whenever you or someone in your household has a shower, Keep your kitty from going outside. Good luck this usually gets worse than just a sneeze so make sure you get to the vet right away. Good Luck!

A trip to the vet is definitely in order. The cat could be having a bout of the cold or flu, or it can have something stuck up its nose (which happens more than we realize). In either case, the vet will be able to help.

My cats have also been sneezing. I'm wondering if it could be to the change in weather. I have had the furnace on a few times and the air is dryer. If it doesn't clear up I would take him to the vet. Cats get colds and upper respiratory viruses. Respiratory infections can be quite serious.

Icebabe and Alkarah are right. It might be a simple seasonal allergy- but kitties do catch colds. And things that might look like simple colds at first in a cat could in fact be far more serious.
Good luck!

Take him to the vet-my cat had the same thing and ruined my furniture (eww, huh?). Unfortunately, he might be susceptible to them now, so keep an eye out for future infections. It will clear up quickly with an antibiotic.

Time for a trip to the vets. Could be the start of a respiratory infection and should be treated.

It could be that the dust in your house, and outside is getting to her, but if it's a constant sneezing you might want to take her to the vet
