My cat sneezes daily, no discharge. Should I take him to the vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 10.5 lbs

He sneezes three or four times a day. Has NO discharge from nose and has ample energy. His appetite is ok one day and low another. Does he have a cold? Should I take him to vet? This has been going on for about 5 days now with no change.

If sneezing is the only sign you can probably monitor for a couple more days. Sneezing in cats may be upper respiratory infection (viral or bacterial), nasal foreign body (grass can get trapped in nose) or nasopharyngeal polyps. If he stops eating has any discharge or the sneeze lasts longer than a week total I would recomend a vet visit.
