a sneezing cat

Question
hello, my name is johnpaul and my 6 week old cat has a cold or something. The cat sneezes alot sometimes sneezes like ten times in a row when he sneezes some yellow mucus comes out, and sometimes weezes or like his nose is plugged. when he weezes its only for a little while but does happen a couple times each day. I dont know if he has just a little cold or if its a bigger problem than that. Other than the sneezing and weezing (lol) he is perfectly normal the sneezing is not as bad as it used to be but it does worry me!!  sincerily JohnPaul

Answer
ok, if he is still playing and eating, then its probably not upper respirtory infection, and it could be allergies, or dust or a little cold, if he stops playing and stops eating, get him to the vet asap.

now, something you can do to help him breath a bit better when he is weezing is this...every heard of vics vapor rub? well go buy a small jar of it and put a teeny tiny bit on your finger then rub that on his chin..yes chin, not his chest not his nose, no place where he can lick it or get it in his eyes. it wont hurt him, he wont even know its there, but the vapors will help clear his head a bit.

dont forget, if he stops playing or eating, get him to a vet
a respirtory infection left untreated can kill.
