Grass Allergies
"Cat cold" is what many people call it when your cat just ups and starts sneezing. My cat had one and it was not a pretty sight. He was miserable I could tell just by looking at him. Cats, like humans will catch a cold or even get the flu, so do not take your cats sneezing lightly as it could lead to complications. Old Tippy has allergies, we know that as he starts sneezing in the fall of every year, but this sneezing came a lot earlier and I started to worry. His little pink nose was running and his eyes were watering.

We watched him for a few days and he did not have a fever but was lethargic, as he is one to bounce off the walls most of the day. He was eating fine, but just the sneezing and the way he would just lay there had us worried. If your cat starts to spray blood when he sneezes, get him to the vet ASAP. It could be feline leukemia, or some other ailment. But mostly it is just a cat cold and can be taken care of with natural home remedies.

When cats out in the wild start sneezing and can't seem to stop they head for a nice green body of grass. Mainly lemon grass, for some reason it seems to stop the sneezing and clears the airways. We do not feed Tippy medicine from the vet as it is loaded with so many chemicals it is probably worse than the sneezing and could lead to more aliments. So we bought him some lemon grass as he is an apartment cat and doesn't get out much. He did start eating it, along with our other cat and it seemed to help Tippy. I would clean out his eyes and helped him 'blow his nose'. Of course he did not like that but it did help him to recover.

There are no side effects when giving your cats holistic cures as it is all natural, things that they would eat in the wild. Many believe that the processed cat food we give our babies has a lot to do with the sneezing and maybe their overall health. After about a week Tippy was back to his old self, terrorizing this buddy and us. Sometimes when you know it is not a serious problem, just wait it out, if your cat does not get better after a few days, then you might have to take measures to help them through all this.
