Hi, As long as your cat is otherwise acting normally monitor the sneezing. If the sneezing frequency increases or the cat sowing other signs such as reduced activity, reduced appetite, discharge from nose then take him to be examined by your vet. Also monitor the environment for any changes in common irritants that can effect cats and cause sneezing including cigarette smoke, household cleaners, changes in cat litter etc.
