There are three possibilities for cats sneezing: 1. The irritation caused by dust, hair, smell and other factors in the environment; 2. The cat has caught a cold; 3. The cat is infected with a viral cold. The owner must be careful Observe the cat owner's mental state, frequency of sneezing, and secretions from the eyes and nose. If the cat owner appears listless and has more secretions, it is recommended to go to the pet hospital in time.
1. Sneezing caused by dust, hair, and strong odor irritation
In daily life, sneezing will occur when dust, hair, and strong odor irritate the mucous membranes, but there will be no abnormal increase in secretions from the eyes and nasal cavity. It is necessary to improve the cat's living environment according to the actual situation. For example, newly purchased items may contain irritating chemicals, and some cat litters are dusty. Reducing the cat owner's contact with irritating factors can effectively relieve the cat owner's sneezing. In addition, cats like Garfield, who are born with short nasal passages, are prone to sneezing due to allergies, so be especially careful. < /p>
