Hi Courtney and Hunter! It could be that he is suffering from a respiratory infection if he is sneezing. It could also be allergies, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for sure. I would recommend having Mac seen by a vet tomorrow for this. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms and can prescribe medication to treat them. In case he does have a respiratory infection, I can give you some home remedies you can use in conjunction with medications from the vet. First, you can try starting him on an L-lysine supplement - this is an amino acid that has been shown to help the immune system fight off respiratory infections more effectively. Enisyl and Viralys are both good brands, and can be purchased over the counter without a prescription - just follow the dosing instructions on the label based on your cat's weight. If he's congested, you can also try using a humidifier or bringing him into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections. I hope this helps!
