It sounds like your young cat might be dealing with some upper respiratory congestion, which is quite common in kittens. This could be due to a mild infection, allergies, or even environmental factors. Here are a few steps you can take at home to help her feel more comfortable:

First, consider using a humidifier in the room where she spends most of her time. The added moisture in the air can help loosen mucus and make it easier for her to breathe. Additionally, you can gently clean her nose with a warm, damp cloth to remove any crusted mucus, being careful not to irritate her sensitive skin.

It's also important to ensure she stays well-hydrated. Offer her fresh water frequently, and you might even consider adding a bit of low-sodium chicken broth to encourage her to drink more. Keeping her warm and comfortable is also beneficial, as a cozy environment can aid in her recovery.

Lastly, monitor her symptoms closely. If you notice any worsening signs, such as difficulty breathing, loss of appetite, or lethargy, it might be time to consult a veterinarian. If her symptoms persist or worsen, having her checked by a veterinarian would be wise to rule out any underlying conditions.

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