My senior cat is sneezing for a week, but seems fine. Should I worry?

Question

We have a 13-year-old female Maine Coon cat (mix most likely) that weighs approx 26lbs. Her name is Miss Priss. She has been sneezing for the last week. The sneeze sounds like she is congested, but she has no nose drainage or eye tearing. Her eating and drinking are normal, and so is her movement ( she is the epitome of the lazy cat!). She seems to be fine other than the sneezing. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Female | spayed | 26 lbs

I'd be concerned in that frequent sneezing isn't normal, and it can be a sign that Miss Press is sick. Given this has been going on for a week, I'd make a visit with the vet for a health check. It's not an emergency since she is eating and drinking normally, and otherwise behaving normally, but it would be good to get her checked out in the next few days. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
