It is possible that Bits may be suffering from seasonal allergies, but the sneezing could also be due to a respiratory infection. I would keep an eye on Bits for now, and if she keeps sneezing or develops other signs such as coughing, eye discharge, or nasal discharge, then I would have her seen by a vet on Monday.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry to hear Kall is having issues with sneezing. Sneezing in cats can be due to a variety of reasons, including allergies, an upper respiratory infection, or material in the nose, among others. If she has no nasal or eye discharge, no coughing/inappetence, vomiting, or other signs of illness, I would continue to monitor it at this time. If she stops eating, develops discharge or otherwise feels bad, then I would recommend she be evaluated by her regular veterinarian to determine if something more is going on that needs to be addressed. Good luck!
