Is Pollen Bothering Your Cat?

Just like humans, our feline companions can suffer from seasonal allergies. If you’ve noticed your cat sneezing more than usual, scratching excessively, or showing other unusual behaviors, pollen might be to blame. These symptoms often appear during spring and summer when plants release more allergens into the air.

While cats typically handle pollen better than dogs, sensitive felines can experience discomfort. Watch for watery eyes, excessive grooming, or respiratory issues. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian. In mild cases, wiping your cat’s fur with a damp cloth after outdoor adventures can help remove pollen particles. Keeping windows closed during high pollen counts may also provide relief for your sneezy kitty.
