I am very upset an worried about the little guy!

This has been going on for 2 days now. He eats and isn't listless, but neezes and sniffles like crazy in fits.

I really dont want to lose my best buddy...

Can any Tb vets help?

any changes in the kitty's home? Maybe vacuum the carpets & clean the floors. New litter? Anything introduced new into the home like air fresheners or sprays?

One of my cats did that once where they were sneezing off and on all day but it did go away.

He's allergic to you- get out.
kidding
Get the lil fella to a good vet, pronto(unless he clears up before Monday).
Bassguppy, your avatar reminds me of a time my friend's cat had to wear the cone for awhile- he tossed a piece of salami at the poor kitty, & it landed on the inner rim of the cone, juuust out of reach of the poor animal. the look on his furry little face was beyond priceless- it was just *are you ****ing w/me?*

it was a lucky shot with the camera, my cat (Bella) was in the middle of a yawn.

The cone was on cuz she was just fixed.

It's usually the cat litter or something in the bedding. Only after a check-up by a vet will you know for sure.

our old cat was sneezing like mad, and when we took himto the vets, they said it was a piece of grass stuck in the roof of his mouth...

getting it out wasnt easy though, he was a vicious little bugger...

I'd be willing to bet he has a cold. We have 5, and they passed it back and forth from one another for almost a month. Finally, it ran it's course. I did get worried, and brought the one that had it the worst to the vet. They said since there was no discharge of any kind, it was most likely a cold and eventually would subside.
There may be a slight possibility of asthma, but that would sound more like uncontrollable wheezing. I would still see a vet since it is only a kitten and may be more susceptible to different things like allergy's. One thing I've learned after decades of having cats, if they are still eating, 999 times out of 1000 is isn't anything serious. Good luck!
