The underlying cause of this can, in fact, be dental even if you can't see it. However, your cat is sneezing under a specific condition, which is basically a cheek rub with sufficient pressure against a hard, angled, surface. We have a cat that sneezes a lot, there are many reasons why a cat might sneeze including various viruses and dental issues. I can't even make her sneeze by scratching her cheek or poking the spot, only happens when she's rubbing. Has anyone seen this before, or know anything about it? I've checked her for gum inflammation, or any kind of irritation/injuries/scars around the spot, but she's pristine. It doesn't seem to pose any kind of problem to her heath, so I'm not worried - mostly just entertained and curious. She doesn't recoil at all, and the constant sneezing doesn't seem to bother or exhaust her she'll stop rubbing and continue on her merry way.Īs mentioned, it's been happening for a few years now.
The sneezes are very light, almost more like huffs - like ticking your nose with a feather. It's very consistent too - sometimes she'll sit and rub for a few minutes, and sneeze a couple dozen times in a row. I've been observing this for a while - it's only on the right side of her face, and only when a corner hits it. Whenever she rubs against something with a corner, and the corner rubs a spot in her right cheek, she sneezes. Overall she's a very healthy and content creature, but in the past few years she's developed a very strange mannerism.
I have a female tortie of unknown age - somewhere between 12 and 16.
