It sounds like your cat might be dealing with some nasal irritation or a mild respiratory issue, possibly due to exposure to cold weather. Sneezing and nasal discharge are common reactions when a cat's nasal passages are irritated by the cold. Here are a few steps you can take at home to help your cat feel better:

Firstly, ensure your cat is in a warm and comfortable environment, as this can help alleviate any symptoms related to the cold. It's also important to keep your cat well-hydrated, as fluids can help thin mucus and ease any congestion they might be experiencing.

Keep a close eye on your cat's symptoms. If the sneezing and nasal discharge continue for more than a few days or if you notice additional symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or difficulty breathing, it could indicate a more serious condition like an upper respiratory infection.

Additionally, you can gently clean any discharge from your cat's nose using a soft, damp cloth. This will help keep the area clean and prevent further irritation.

If your cat's symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any infections or underlying issues. If you have any further questions or need more guidance, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
