My cat has sneezed a couple of times usually when she has just come back inside. She is otherwise very healthy.

It could be something outside was irritating Trinity's nasal passages, leading to the sneezing. If it only happens at that time, I wouldn't be worried about it. Should the sneezing increase or she develop other signs like lethargy, a cough, a decrease in appetite, or nasal and eye discharge, have her seen by a vet.
