My cat, Simon, had sneezed a lot from the time we brought him home. Our former vet (we've since moved) said that cats sometimes catch a certain bacteria that can cause excessive sneezing (not cold-related, of course); she gave us a week's worth of an antibiotic, which seems to have drastically improved Simon's sneezing issue.
What worries me now, though, is that he seems to have a breathing issue. It sounds as if he's trying to clear his nasal passages (he makes a sort of snuffling sound, as a human would blow out to help clear a stuffy nose). He does this during no particular time of the day, whether at play or at rest.
He has no indications of a cold whatsoever; I'm at a loss as to the possibility of what could be causing this issue; I'd love to hear any suggestions.
Meanwhile, I'm calling a cat clinic today to set up an appointment for a general check up for him (and to try to determine what could be causing the snuffling sounds Simon makes).
Thanks,
Jenk
