Patty is almost 7 month old, he had all his shots. and was perfectly healthy all the time.

Around 4 or 5 days ago, i notice he started sneezing which he nenver ever did before. he is not sneezing all the time, but definetly he sneezes from time to time now..and he also has more discharge in his eyes than before. these are the only two signs so far. He plays and eats well, his poop looks normal too.

I wonder if this is a cold or just some allegies?
He is always a indoor cat, never been with any other cats, his last time out of home was at the vet around 3 months ago... There is no way he got a cold from aother cat, is it possible that he just got the cold by him self? or from something he eats?
I am not sure if this is something serious, should I go to the vet?

Thanks
Emily

I always thought something was wrong with my persian too, but she is fine. It is common in the breed. Take it to the vet to make sure though, just in case.

Holly has been to the vet several times for just those symptoms, and no URI, and the L-lysine didn't cure it.

I think maybe it is a kitten thing, they sniff so many things. My vet said it is possible she has a mild case feline herpes, but since nothing major is happening to not worry. Deffinetly go see a vet to make sure it's not something serious.

My vets own advice (once everything has been ruled out, and you know what is normal for your cat) is that as long as the cat is eating and drinking ok, and using the litter box...don't worry.
