Both of my cats are indoor cats. They NEVER go outside. I keep them up to date on shots. A few days ago, Jackson started sneezing. There is no drainage from his eyes or nose. Just sneezing. He will sneeze non stop for about 30 seconds and then stop for a few minutes and do it again. He seems to have gotten better. Not sneezing as much. But now Mister has started the same. Although, his sneezing is way more loud and frequent. He just started it last night. Any idea as to what this is. He doesnt have any discharge either. Just sneezing. Does this require a vet visit? Is there something I can do at home to help?

With no discharge, it sounds like it could be allergies, or dust or something?  Is it extremely windy where you are, where lots of dust is being raised?  Or are you doing something around the house where lots of dust is being raised, like cleaning off artificial plants...something like that?  Or taking out the box of Christmas decorations that might be a little dusty, and one cat is more inquisitive than the other?  Just trying to think of something that might be causing it.

I would say to keep an eye on things, and if they stop eating, which might indicate their noses are stopped up, then you might want to put them in the bathroom with the hot water running to create steam to help with that, but as long as they seem fine, not lethargic and eating normally, they're probably ok.  Mine do that every once in awhile too.  One starts sneezing, then another follows a few days later.

Thank you so much for the reply. They are both sleepy but not lethargic and still eating normally. Even playing at times. It has been pretty windy here for a few days and we recently cleaned out one of our spare bedrooms and turned it into a nursery because I am 33 weeks pregnant. The room hadnt been touched in probably 5 years. So maybe that is what is causing it
