Sojourner Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Well, people can develop allergies over time, and they can get worse. I bet your cat really just has a cold, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StColette Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Oh and to answer the allergy question, yep cats can and do have allergies lol just as humans can develop allergies at different ages or grow out of them as time goes by, so also do animals develop allergies. But most likely your cat has a cold, look at her eyes and if they seem runny and have this goo stuff beneath them then it's most likely a cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StColette Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Q. How can I tell if my six-month old cat has a cold? It sneezes quite often, but its nose isn't runny. A. Sneezing, watery eyes, and loss of appetite may be present. It is possible that your pet has a cold. Sneezing typically indicates some kind of nasal irritation. This could be due to a viral or bacterial upper respiratory infection, inhaled foreign material such as dust, or allergies. You should take your cat to a veterinarian to have him evaluated and, if necessary, treated. Viral upper respiratory infections in the cat frequently cause sneezing. They are also often accompanied by watery discharge from the eyes or nose. Viral infections tend to last about a week, and symptomatic treatment is generally all that is necessary. If your cat¹s appetite is off, it is likely because the cat cannot smell its food, and thus will not eat. You can try to help out your stuffy cat by providing it with tuna and other strong-smelling foods. Heating such food in the microwave will make it more aromatic, but always test the food first to make sure that it is not too hot. Viruses are everywhere. They can be transferred through the air or via shoes, clothing, or hands that have come in contact with them. Most viruses, such as the cold and flu viruses, are host specific; human viruses are not transferable to your pet and vice versa. If clinical signs such as pawing at the face, fever, lethargy, thick mucus from the eyes or nose, and decreased appetite are present, you need to take your pet to the veterinarian as soon as possible.
