Common Causes of Sneezing
Upper respiratory infection – Like a feline cold, often caused by viruses or bacteria
Allergies – To dust, pollen, or household cleaners
Irritants – Perfumes, smoke, or scented litter
Dental disease – Infections in the mouth can impact the nasal passages
Foreign object – Something stuck in their nose
