Why is my cat Sneezing and has alump on his head?

It sounds like your cat has an upper respiratory infection along with a possible abscess on his or her head. An abscess is caused by cat bites or cat claws and the infection closes over and infection/puss builds up inside. It would need to be drained and cleaned out. Also antibiotics would be needed too. But first of all you need to take your cat into your Veterinarian to have him or her checked out and diagnosed correctly.
