I understand your concern about your young cat's heavy breathing and mild sneezing, especially since these symptoms have persisted for a few days. It's reassuring that your cat remains active and playful, but the breathing pattern and sneezing could still suggest a respiratory issue, such as an upper respiratory infection, allergies, or possibly asthma.

Given that these symptoms have been ongoing for three days, I recommend having your cat evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. A thorough examination, along with potential diagnostic tests like X-rays or blood work, can help identify the underlying cause.

In the meantime, try to keep your cat in a calm and stress-free environment. Avoid exposing him to potential irritants such as smoke, strong perfumes, or dusty areas. Ensure he has access to fresh water and a comfortable place to rest.

Addressing these symptoms promptly is important to prevent any potential complications. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
