My cats usually have a cold at least once during the winter months. Just make sure it is eating and getting enough liquids and using the litter box okay. It might eat a little less but it shouldn't stop. If it doesn't go away in a couple of days you should check with a vet, or if the cat seems feverish, which is hard to tell in a cat.

Your cat could just have a cold or sneezing because of dust. Last December, my cat got a real bad cold where she couldn't leave the living room. She didn't eat for 3 days. She was sneezing too. When we put food in front of her she threw up mucus and that's how we knew it was a cold. Just watch your cat and hopefully the sneezing will stop in a few days. Try vacuuming and cleaning any dust around the house. If its from dust in the environment the sneezing should stop rather soon. If the cat keeps sneezing after a week or so, then a trip to the vet may be in order. We were just about to take our cat to the vet the following morning and then she started to eat and has been fine ever since.

She could be allergic to dust, is there any mildew or mold around your place? Check it out. Cats sneeze, but make sure she has no discharge from her eyes or nose. My cats sneeze when the windows are open and the breeze blows in dust. Are her gums pink? If they are pink and not sticky she is probably ok and if she is eating and drinking ok she is probably allright

If she was an outdoor cat I'd say that she had a foxtail up her nose. Since she's indoor I'd think it is allergies or it is some sort of upper respiratory infection. As soon as you can I'd get her to the vet for a checkup.

My cat has been doing the same thing. If you live in a place were it has been raining alot i am not surprised. Your cat could also have allergies. If you have any perfumes or air fresheners try not using them and see how your cat reacts. My cat was allergic to fabreeze.

she might be allergic to something try to not use lotions perfumes or room sprays because it could be hurting her nose and the only way to make it better is to sneeze out the senses that she doesn't like.

keep her warm, she must go to the vet if she goes off her food or starts to vomit or have diahorrea.
Don't forget, just because she is an indoor cat does not mean you can forget about her vaccinations

Sounds like an allergy. A vet trip is advised as soon as you can manage it.
