My cat sneezes at home but not on vacation. Is it allergies?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 13 lbs

Recently my cat of 10 years old has been sneezing for a few months. I took her to the vet got her on pills for around 3 months and it came back. Although, what’s strange to me is that I took her on vacation with me to see family in the midwest about a few days ago and she didn’t sneeze at all. But, now that we are both back in the east coast she is starting to sneeze again. What could this possibly be?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Minnie. She may be experiencing environmental allergies based on the description you have provided. I recommend contacting her veterinarian to determine if this is possible based on her recent exam findings. She may need allergy testing or a trial treatment course. I hope this information helps!
