They have the equivalent of a kitty cold. It is caused by a virus and is highly contagious.
Left untreated, it can get pretty serious.
They will need antibiotics.

I have 3 cats. One started sneezing often, then a few days later the next one , and then the next one. I took The first one to the vet since she was the worst and they said it was an infection. the vet gave me an antibiotic for all 3 cats and now they are fine. So, my advice is to take them to the vet, especially if it is often and you see discharge from the nose.

Sounds like a trip to the vet, or at least a call, would be in order. We have a great vet that actually lets us call and describe symptoms and then decides if we really need to truck the cats in or not.

There is no such thing as "just a cold" with kittens. A cold in kittens can and will lead to severe upper respiratory infection, which will become either lethal or chronic (it won't pass) if untreated. So please go to the vet.

It will probably be cat flu of one type or another. Veterinary attention is needed.

It might be colds or allergies. But if one kitty caught it, then the other, you might want to have them checked.
Good luck!

Wow, that is a problem. My cat's pooper smells like 3 day old tuna.
