My cat is sneezing a lot and less playful. Should I see a vet?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 3 months old

My cat has started to sneeze quite a lot. Started about 2 weeks ago. She is eating ok. Seems ok otherwise apart from not being as playful but think thats down to the hot weather.

I would have Pepsi checked out by a vet. Sneezing could be caused by allergies, dry air, mild upper respiratory infection, and even polyps in the oral or nasal cavity. I vet can do a thorough examination and discuss all the environmental factors and hopefully help the sneezing to go away. For upper respiratory infections, some cats benefit from lysine ( https://m.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=25602 ).
