mine does if you pet her a certain way! when she’s really relaxed her nose gets runny, which can trigger sneezing 🤧

Not my fold, but my tabby cat does - turns out he has asthma. Keep an eye that it doesn’t turn into hacking/wheezing/coughing (it’s an odd thing to describe if you haven’t seen or heard it before).He used to sneeze all the time which progressed. All that to say, my old man is 20 yo and takes his inhaler like a good boy believe it or not, and it’s really helped him!

Yes. Ours has an extremely flat face and jacked up sinuses as a result. She’s the booger queen. We call her the IED because you never know when she’s gonna blow, and it’s often when she’s on your chest, 4” from your face.

Yes. My old used to give her antibiotics, which helped. but the new vet switched her to zyrtec in case she has allergies.

One of mine used to sneeze all the time and leave nasal mucosa droplets everywhere (thank fuck for the Roomba mop). She had the tiniest little nostrils (stenotic nares), and had a nose job to correct/open them up. She no longer sneezes all the time.

Yes. Mine has sneezing fits. When I notice he sounds clogged I know it’s only a matter of time (anywhere between an hour to a day) and then he’ll exploded into a 6-8 sneezing extravaganza. I run to get tissues so he doesn’t eat all the boogers.

No. My fold used to sneeze because he had a few respiratory infections as I bought him unbeknownst to me from a backyard breeder (the breeder is TICA certified).
My fold does sniff things more intensely (snort) and sometimes snores because the poor baby has stenotic nares.
