Ion is the B&W boy. Shortly after I moved to this new place just a few days ago, he began sneezing. He's been sneezing very violently and more often as time progresses. However, he is eating just fine, drinking plenty, his personality energy and mood are great, there is no discharge from the sneeze. the first day, he had a very runny eye that he rubbed a lot but that cleared up in about an hour. Starting last night, I've been 'steaming' him in the bathroom, and after I do that he is better for a little while.

I'm *thinking* it's the herpes virus. I have some l-lysine for his food, and I'm giving him 500mg. Has anyone here ever tried that for herpes/URI's in their cats? What was your experience with it?

I'm hesitant to take him to the vet unless anything becomes seriously worse or obviously more wrong. I really really can not afford to (If he HAS to go, I will take him and not let him suffer). My financial situation is as such that I wouldn't be able to eat for the rest of the month if I did. And, if it is what it seems to be and what I think it is, there is nothing they can do for him anyway.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

And more pictures of my cats found here, because they are the cutest ever.
