My cat sneezes and acts like she'll throw up, but tests are fine.

Pet's info: Cat | Russian Blue | Female | spayed | 1 year and 11 months old | 7 lbs

My cat had a fever when I took her to the vet. She's doesn't now, but she's sneezing and seems like she wants to throw up. She's eating and pooping fine. Blood tests and urinalysis came back normal. Any idea of what it could be?

I'm sorry Olivia isn't feeling well! She could have hairballs causing her to act like she wants to throw up, while the sneezing could be caused by allergies. It's good that her blood tests and urinalysis came back normal, and that she is eating and pooping fine. I would keep an eye on her for now, and if the symptoms get worse or don't go away over the next couple of days, I would have her seen by a vet again.
