I have tried various medications and procedures with the vet for quite some time now, but…
As you’ve read, cats with allergies to food tend to have skin related issues not upper respiratory issues such as sneezing or runny nose. Also, cats are usually not allergic to one brand of food versus another but instead to an ingredient such as fish or wheat, etc. Ingredients in the two foods you’ve mentioned do overlap, so I’d be very skeptical about this being an allergy issue due to the diet. I would suspect another cause of the upper respiratory disease that is perhaps exacerbated by the aroma of the food or by just bending down to eat. Chronic snuffles and sneezes in a cat can be very frustrating. I’d keep trying to get to the bottom of this, while I never say never, I’d be extremely surprised if this was related to diet. Good luck!
