Heather, I'm sorry you're having problems with little Noodles. Cats are expensive and we do the best we can to provide for them. My tabby girl Macy has had a cold for about a week, sneezing and wheezing. She likes to go outside on a long leash, but I'm keeping her inside because it has been so cold here in New York. When people have a cold, the doctor doesn't give antibiotics, just advice to rest and drink fluids. I guess it would be the same for a cat. If it is an upper respiratory infection, then Noodles would need to go to the vet, but I'm not sure how to tell the difference between a cold and URI in a cat.
