It sounds like your cat may be experiencing an upper respiratory infection, especially if she's showing signs like coughing, sneezing, and green nasal discharge. This type of infection is often due to viruses or bacteria, and the green color of the discharge typically indicates a bacterial component. Given your cat's age and her history of heart issues, it's crucial to keep a close eye on her condition.

At home, you can help make her more comfortable by ensuring she stays well-hydrated and by providing a warm, humid environment. Using a humidifier can be beneficial in easing her breathing. Additionally, make sure she has a quiet, stress-free space to rest. You might also consider gently cleaning her nose with a damp cloth to remove any discharge, which can help her breathe more easily.

If you notice her symptoms persisting or worsening—such as increased lethargy, a loss of appetite, or difficulty breathing—it's important to consult a veterinarian. They can conduct a thorough examination and may prescribe antibiotics if they determine a bacterial infection is present.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Thank you for taking such good care of your cat.
