Does vaping make your cat sneeze? (Stop laughing! I'm serious!)

[FilthyPazuzu]

OK, I'm not entirely sure it's the vapor making the poor little guy sneeze. The weather is finally cooling down where I live and my windows have been open a lot these past couple weeks, so it could be that. But I started vaping in the same time frame, so I don't know.

Also: I live with three cats, only one is sneezing. But it's not just one sneeze, he'll sneeze 10 times or more, one right after the other. He sure looks pretty dizzy after all that sneezing. I know how that feels.

Also, also: I've smoked analog cigarettes for about 23 years, but I haven't smoked indoors in 7 years or so. Back when I did smoke in the house, it never made him sneeze. I'm wondering if maybe it's not the nicotine, but something else in the vapor.

For now, to be on the safe side, I'm not gonna vape in the same room as him.
If anyone else has seen or heard about anything like this, I'd be very grateful to hear about it!

Thanks!

No vapeing doesnt make my cats sneeze...but they will almost kill themselves to secondhand vape with some flavors (like Cheshire Catnip AiV)

It doesn't bother my kitty, but sometimes she'll watch the vapor until it disappears.

You beat me to it Penn. Yes do not Vape at your cats it could be harmful to them. But I would say not as harmful as Cig smoke which my cat used to climb in my lap just to smell... I have always had strange pets

Key word in wbart's statement is "at". It is high doses that is the issue. From what I can tell vaping with the cat in the room is okay but don't blow it in their face.

Sorry I should have clarified. But much like humans cats seem to have different tolerances. I saw a thread on here where a cat was losing its hair every time the owner Vaped indoors. But then there are the cats that just want to go crazy for it. It is just one of those things that you need to keep in the back of your head when you vape

I know people love their cats. If some are responding to vapeing I think when i get ready for pets I'll get a fish tank or something lol

I WISH it made my cat sneeze. I'd love to get back at the bugger for all the early morning meows thrown my way.

I've drawn the line, and don't allow my cat to Vape.

I have 3 cats and they're almost constantly in the room(s) I vape in. I've not observed any adverse effects in any of them.

Cat started sneezing like once a day. Gave him some L lysine on his paw and he stopped. I read somewhere that humans, dogs..etc. aren't affected by pg like cats who are sensitive to it. High doses are dangerous to cats but wouldn't get PG high doses by someone vaping but make sure your bottles are sealed.

While I'd never blow vapor in a cat's face, many years ago I lived with one who loved smoke. Not cigarette smoke, though.

Even before this one's sneezing fits (there's only been 3 or 4) I wouldn't vape if one of my cats was on my lap or right next to me. I had suspected the PG - I've heard about people having negative reactions to it - but I don't think Heinz body formation is making my cat sneeze.

I'm gonna try some different juices - including 100% VG. In the meantime, I'll make sure he's not in the room while I'm vaping this one, and keep an eye on when the fits occur. Maybe he just doesn't like this one's flavor. I'm not a huge fan of it, either.

I always manage to end up with weird pets with weird problems. One of my other cats has cerebellar hypoplasia. It sounds much worse than it is. He's an absurdly happy and otherwise healthy cat, just... wobbly.

There's a catnip ejuice flavor? I'm not sure I'd enjoy it, but I'd love to see what my cats were like after I vaped it!

You gotta be firm with them!
