It sounds like your cat is experiencing some discomfort with sneezing, skin issues, and itching. These symptoms could be related to allergies, a mild respiratory infection, or even a reaction to something in her environment. Since these symptoms started recently, there are a few things you can try at home to help her feel more comfortable.

First, consider if there have been any changes in her environment, such as new cleaning products, air fresheners, or even a change in her diet. Removing potential allergens might help alleviate her symptoms. Additionally, ensure her living area is clean and free from dust or other irritants by regularly vacuuming and dusting to reduce allergens.

It's also important to make sure she has access to fresh water and her regular diet. Proper hydration and nutrition can sometimes help her body cope with minor irritations. If her skin is itchy, you can gently wipe her coat with a damp cloth to remove any potential irritants, but avoid using any human skin products on her.

Keep an eye on her symptoms and observe for any changes. If they persist or worsen, it might be worth considering a visit to the vet to rule out any underlying conditions. Since her symptoms are mild and have only been present for a short time, monitoring her condition closely over the next day or two is a good approach. However, if you notice any worsening of symptoms or if she seems distressed, consulting a veterinarian for further evaluation would be wise.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
