No, I would not give Myla human augmentin to treat an upper respiratory infection. For one, it's never recommended to self treat your cat's health problems as you may accidentally do more harm than good. In addition, URI in cats are typically caused by viruses, so antibiotics will not help at all. I would have Myla seen by a vet. The vet can prescribe medications to treat her symptoms.
