Why is my cat suddenly sneezing a lot after eating treats?

Question

My cat keeps sneezing for the past hour. She's not really a sneezer but about an hour ago I found some loose treats in a drawer and I gave it to her. Right when she finished eating then she began sneezing about 6 times. And she keeps sneezing here and there for the past hour. What could be wrong with her? Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 6 lbs

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear that Luna is sneezing. A few things come to mind- an early upper respiratory infection caused by a virus (possibly stress related), some type of airborne irritant or allergen in the air, or she has inhaled a small foreign body into her nasal passageways. I would monitor her over the next 24 hours or so and see if the signs resolve, persist, or worsen. If they persist or worsen, you should have her seen by your vet and especially if you notice discharge from the nose or eyes, red eyes, squinty eyes, cough, trouble breathing, etc. Your vet can get a detailed history and do a physical exam. If diagnostics are needed they can advise what tests to run such as blood tests or x-rays. I hope this passes and Luna gets back to normal soon.
