It sounds like your cat is experiencing some concerning symptoms, such as warm ears, sneezing, and a loss of appetite, especially after the introduction of a new pet.

Warm ears can sometimes indicate fever or inflammation. Sneezing might be related to an upper respiratory infection, which is common in cats, particularly when they are stressed or exposed to new environments or other animals. The loss of appetite could be due to stress from the new pet or an underlying illness.

First, you can gently feel your cat's ears and body to check if they feel unusually warm. If you have a pet thermometer, you can take their temperature rectally. A normal cat's temperature ranges from 100.5°F to 102.5°F. If it's higher, it might indicate a fever.

Next, try to encourage your cat to eat by offering more palatable foods like wet cat food, or even some plain cooked chicken or fish. Sometimes warming the food slightly can make it more appealing.

Additionally, make sure your cat is drinking water, as dehydration can be a concern if they are not eating well.

If the symptoms persist or worsen, especially the loss of appetite and sneezing, it would be best to take him to the vet. They can provide a thorough examination and determine if there is an underlying infection or other health issue that needs to be addressed.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
