It sounds like your cat is generally doing well, which is great to hear. A light brown discharge from the nose can sometimes occur due to minor irritations, dust, or even a mild upper respiratory infection. Since your cat is eating, drinking, and playing normally, it may not be a serious concern at this point. However, there are a few things you can do at home to ensure your cat remains healthy.

First, keep an eye on the discharge. If you notice any changes in color or consistency, such as it becoming darker, thicker, or if there's any blood, it might indicate a more serious issue. Additionally, watch for other symptoms like sneezing, coughing, or difficulty breathing, as these could suggest an infection or allergy.

It's also important to maintain a clean environment for your cat. Make sure their living area is free from dust and strong odors that could irritate their nasal passages. Continue providing plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet to support their immune system.

If the discharge continues or you observe any changes in your cat's behavior or health, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying issues. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
