Cats sneeze, and often it is hard to know whether sneezing warrants medical attention. Almost every day I see patients who sneeze and are congested. Most sneezing is due to mild upper-respiratory infections, but sometimes it is due to something more serious.
Thank you for writing in with your concern for your cat. Considering that your cat has had a sneezing problem for 4 years, it seems most likely that your cat has herpes virus. This is one of the most common causes of chronic sneezing in cats. She most likely contracted the virus as a kitten. Similar to herpes in people, this virus can have occasional flare-ups. Fortunately, it is not contagious to people and will not cause her any great harm. There is also a possibility that your cat is sneezing in reaction to an environmental trigger such as dust.
