To help your cat sneeze, you can try gently stroking the bridge of their nose to trigger a sneeze reflex. If you suspect the sneezing is due to nasal congestion, a humidifier in the room can help by moistening the airways. However, persistent sneezing could indicate allergies, infections, or other health issues, so observing other symptoms is important. If sneezing persistently occurs or is accompanied by discharge, lethargy, or appetite loss, consulting a veterinarian is essential** for proper diagnosis and treatment.
