My cat Tiggy who is nearly 3 has been sneezing for 3 days, at first i thought it was a hairball as she has been retching and acting like she is bringing up one, then what with the hot weather thought maybe a bit of heatstroke as shes been outside , now she wants to stay in and sleeps all the time but has this little sneeze thing going on and almost like she is wheezy, shes eating and drinking but when she sneezes she also licks her lips alot like shes going to be sick,her nose is runny,she has had all her jabs so it cant be cat flue.A trip to the vet or wait and see?.She was in the cattery for 4 days last week but like i say shes had her jabs up to date i shall be very annoyed if shes picked something up from there she had an indoor cage.

Yes they get cat flu and part of the symptoms are a bad cold.
She may have something stuck up her but sounds like its from tha cattery.
I would get her checked out to make sure she hasnt got ant thinng stuck but sounds like cat flu. She may need some bisolven from the vets to clear her nose up.
Did the cattery have sneeze barriers and were the cages completely isolated from each other?
-
The cattery were like brick built cages so a wall divided each cat the the door was the caged part, if she has had her flue jab though surely she cant have it?
-
She shouldnt but sometimes they can still catch flu, a bit like a human who has had a flu jab.
