My cat and kitten are sneezing, but seem healthy. Should I worry?

Question

My cat Winston and my new kitten Samson are getting along great! Both cats have been sneezing a small amount. They have no eye or nose discharge, eating and drinking great, and are not lethargic at all. I'm not sure if it's the cold weather or maybe some dust from house cleaning? Should I be concerned about this? In my experience with URI's I don't see any symptoms besides the small amount of sneezes a day.

Sneezing is a very vague sign in the sense it only means there is irritation to the nasal passages. So you are completely right in not jumping to the conclusion of an infection. It is more likely due to an irritant such as dust or pollen, or even cold air annoying the sensitive tissue. Do keep an eye as it could be the start of a touch of cat flu, but these things tend to be viral anyway.
