'Whenever' here means every single time. 'Usually' means often but not always. So both words contradict themselves. A better sentence would be without the word 'usually'.

yes, whenever means every single time so I feel it would be best to say when I see a cat I usually start sneezing. They have not made it clear that they always sneeze.

Sounds like something an Eastern European trying to speak English would say tbh.
