Um, Samson has had the sneezies for almost a week now. Do cats get colds? Or allergies?

Ours does. She has a wet nose all of the time and she likes to dry it on other things. Delightful, I know. I would take your cat to the vet just to be sure.

Erg. I have NO time to get him to the vet which sounds awful and obv. I would make time if he seemed unhappy, but he just sneezes these cute little sneezes and I notice him doing it fairly frequently. Otherwise he is fine as usual.

P.S. Holy Cow, how are you? I have no idea how you are doing or where you are or anything; it's good to hear from you!

Cats get sick. If you notice that Samson stops eating and/or drinking, you should definitely head to the vet. Cats apparently sometimes feel sick, so they stop eating, so they feel sicker, and it gets into a vicious loop.

Eating so far seems pretty fine, but I will keep an eye on it!

Oomi had the sneezies for a while when she was little(r). Then they stopped.

Well, he still occasionally sneezes, but it's not that much more than I sneeze, so I'm figuring it's normal.

Our cats get what seem to be colds every so often, usually they pass in a few days. What josh says is correct: if they stop eating or drinking that can become severe very quickly.

Cats get allergies too but I think it's more of an itchy/licking all their hair off kind of experience. There are cat allergy medicines and hypoallergenic cat food...

He doesn't seem to have any allergies; there are no other symptoms, and thankfully he's eating fine.

In addition to other folks' comments above: Cats can indeed have allergies. (I don't know if they produce sneezing, but I have a friend whose cat is made itchy enough by allergies to tear out her fur and go after her skin.)

Yeech! I hope that doesn't happen to Samson; hasn't so far! (Would be super-sad b/c he has the softest coat ever!)
