Get the to the Vet! Not that it is critical but your cat, if it is anything like mine, might have an upper respirtory infection (a chest cold to you and I) and the sneezes are actually the only outward sign you will see. My cat almost constantly has a cold (or so it seems!) and I am always having to run to the vet to get sample anti-biotics...and the only way I know she is sick is the sneezing.
Plus, if you smoke around your cat, stop. Oddly enough it makes them sicker than usual too.

Besides sneezing what makes u think it's a cold? Usually they do more than just sneeze. Here is a web address that I use for my dogs, I believe it can help u too.

You don't say if the cat lives indoors or out. Ck your home for dust and molds that the cat is coming in contact with. Allergies for animals can make sneezing constant too.
But only a good VET can evaluate your cat. Please don't wait, unlike a dog they are more susceptible to this deadly illness. Good Luck and I know all of hope it's nothing serious.

TAking the cat to a vet would probably be a wise choice. If the cat is constantly sneezing, there are probably upper respiratory issues, possibly beginning pnumonia, which can be caused from feline leukemia. Get the cat tested.. ASAP!!

Give it some time, cats, like people, will get over colds naturally. Unless your cat doesn't get better, and just keeps getting worse, then take him to the vet. But you could end up spending a lot of money on medicine or tests that don't necessarily help any more than just letting the cat get over the cold naturally.

You should definately go to the vetenarian. My cats were sneezing and I was worried too. When I went to the vet, he said that they had colds. So, he gave them medicine. For maybe a week or two they will have their low points, but they will get better. It could also be allergies. If you go to the vetenarian he could maybe tell what they, if any, are.

It is possible he has a cold. Other symptoms of the cold in cats are runny eyes, runny nose and constant sneezing.
You will need to take him to the vet for some anti-biotics which your cat will have to take for approx. 1 week or until all the tablets are gone.
