My recently adopted cat (see picture above) has been living with me for about a week now. Yesterday and today I finally convinced her to play with me with toys and such and she really enjoys it. She's going on 1 year old and is up to date on all her shots with her last vet visit recorded at the beginning of May.
However, I notice more that she sounds like she has a stuffy nose when she tries to sniff stuff, occasionally puffs out a loud, quick exhale, or will sneeze occasionally. Her nose will whistle occasionally or just sound like she has a stuffy nose.
I notice it mostly when we play and I'm running her around a bit. She does it occasionally when she's just hanging out under the bed. Otherwise, she's eating and drinking (with a big appetite), using her box, no eye or nose goop that I can see, and she loooooves to play.
Is this something to be concerned about? I know the internet says it could be anything from upper respiratory to asthma to allergies to narrow nasal passages and that's quite a spread. It could be nothing or something that will pass. Any insight is helpful!
Thank you!
EDIT: She has an appointment with the vet this evening.
