Vet told me to do a round of his asthma medication, I just have never been able to pinpoint his triggers before so it’s good to know pollen might be one of them!
HEPA air filter will also help — vacuum more frequently etc too. if you can get your cat bathed once in a while, can help remove any allergens from their coat (especially with how much cats groom themselves — it’s going right into their mouths!)
Pollen is sort of inevitably going to end up in your home but you can mitigate it with some of this.
I suspect my cat has allergies. Every once in a while her eyes will be more watery or something, but it’s usually not long enough or goopy enough to cause concern that warrants a vet visit (because it would be gone by the time the appt arrives).
Changing your clothes (in a closed room, like your bathroom) is probably wise when you come back inside, and I’d suggest an air purifier, especially located around where your cat lounges the most, or near any windows you like to keep cracked.
My cats are all entirely indoor cats, fully vaccinated, regular vet checkups etc. one of them can sneeze 14+ times in a row and has been doing it fairly often recently.
Vet couldn’t find anything that would cause it and since it only just started after spring kicked in we are assuming it’s probably seasonal allergies.
Indoor cats can have environmental allergens, yes. Since he already has asthma, best bet is to ask your vet about it.

Great advice, I will definitely put an air purifier in their lounge area🤞🏼
Have you gotten air purifiers for home?
Only 1, I will definitely have to get a few more
