Cat sneezing

One of my kittens sneezes a lot, like 20+ times a day. Does anyone know why? Is he sick, cuz he seems fine?

What type of litter are you using? Sometimes, if the litter is too dusty, it will cause them to sneeze. 20 times a day seems a little much...when was the last vet visit? Does the kitten have runny eyes?

If your kitten doesn't have any other symptoms of an upper respiratory infection such as runny eyes, nasal discharge or labored breathing then I would think it could be an allergic reaction. How long has it been happening? If it continues I'd visit the Vet to check it out...

I haven't broght him or his brother to the vet, but I will be soon. How old do they have to be before they can have their first shots? They're 2 1/2 months old right now.
I tried switching litter, but that didn't change anything. He doesn't seem to be sick and he doesn't have runny eyes. He's been sneezing ever since I got him. My other kitten doesn't sneeze and neither of them did when they lived at my mother's house.
Well, maybe I'll try switching litter again and see if that helps.

They get a series of vaccines when a kitten.. @ 8 weeks, 12 weeks & 16 weeks... so I'd make an appointment ASAP to get started on it. Let the Vet know about the sneezing at the 1st appointment, maybe he/she will have a better idea of what could be causing it.

My cat was sneezing a lot last week, and I looked in his nose and saw a little fuzz ball that he got from rubbing his face on my pant leg.
