my cat, bubbles keeps sneezing, but only when she comes into the house, she does,nt go out much i looked at her when she does this and its like she is coughing up a hairball, do cats sneeze when they bring up hairballs, or could she have a cold ? by the way she has always done this, so its not a winter thing.

maybe she has an allergy, Take her to the vets, he can do tests to rule things out, or do you spray air fresheners, perfumes etc, my cat always sneezes when she is in the room that has just been sprayed.

It doesn't sound serious, but Bubbles may have an upper respiratory infection. If so, it should be treated as soon as possible so it wouldn't develop into something worse. Just to be safe, if you can afford it, take her to the vet and get a basic check up. If it's just a cold, it would be relatively inexpensive to treat. They'd give you an antibiotic. The other thing it could be is that your cat is allergic to something.

Sounds like you have a "rhino" kitty. By this , I mean your cat is probably a carrier of Rhinotrachitis(sp?), or simply put, a herpes virus that some cats carry. It is a pretty common thing for most cats. I would recommend you take her to the vet for a check up. There are medications that the vet can give her to ease her discomfort. Good Luck!

cats do sneeze for many reasons, as your cat does not go out much she it may have bits of dirt or seeds in its nasal area there fore forcing it to sneeze to remove these particles. your cat may also have an allergy to something in your house, air fresheners, polishes etc. a visit to a vet should put your mind at ease.

Could have an allergy
Seriously, but I doubt its an allergy to cats. :D Haha
Or could be a cold, like you said. Take it to the vet.
Most likely, it may have something irritating the nasal passage. Maybe some dirt, or a bug stuck up there. Cats are goofy like that.

If it happens a lot take her to the vet, my cat is troubled with sinuses and has to have pills now and again to sort him out.I can't understand people asking how to cure animals on sites like this and not taking them to the vet. If you keep animals you must be prepared to care for them properly.

Do you use those plug ins becuase I found out my dog was allergic to them. Look around the area where she starts sneezing. You should be able to pinpoint it if it's when she first comes in.

Definitely an allergy to something in the house.
