Steaming Steaming your cat can help clear the nasal passages and make the cat feel more comfortable. My cats have been having steams for years because they suffer from chronic post-viral rhinitis ("the snuffles"), and they love them. In the lounge, and then they can stay in their basket afterwards but still have some company. This is how we steam them: put cat in a secure carrying basket and lock it. Place a bowl of boiling water in front of the basket (where the cat can't dip his/her paws in, naturally). Drape the whole lot with towels and leave for 15-20 mins (check regularly to ensure cat is not distressed). Do this three times a day while symptoms are present. Nasal Drops Saline nose drops may help if your cat is very congested. Your vet will tell you which ones are safe to use and how much to give. One American brand is Little Noses (1/8% phenylephrine), which is a decongestant nose drop for children. A commonly prescribed dosage for cats is one drop in each nostril twice a day. However, this brand now apparently has preservatives added, which would make it unsuitable for cats. You need drops containing only buffered sterile saline solution, and these should only be used for a maximum of three days, or they may cause a rebound effect.<br><b>References : </b><br> you can try this with your cat,it sounds as though they have or had a cold,and nose are still bocked and congested like ours get.
Steaming
Steaming your cat can help clear the nasal passages and make the cat feel more comfortable. My cats have been having steams for years because they suffer from chronic post-viral rhinitis ("the snuffles"), and they love them. In the lounge, and then they can stay in their basket afterwards but still have some company. This is how we steam them:

put cat in a secure carrying basket and lock it.

Place a bowl of boiling water in front of the basket (where the cat can’t dip his/her paws in, naturally).

Drape the whole lot with towels and leave for 15-20 mins (check regularly to ensure cat is not distressed).

Do this three times a day while symptoms are present.

Nasal Drops

Saline nose drops may help if your cat is very congested. Your vet will tell you which ones are safe to use and how much to give. One American brand is Little Noses (1/8% phenylephrine), which is a decongestant nose drop for children. A commonly prescribed dosage for cats is one drop in each nostril twice a day.
