Why is my senior cat sneezing, coughing, and losing weight suddenly?

Question

My cat is sneezing, coughing and shoots boogers he threw up n it smelled horrible. Eating n drinking fine but looks like he's lost weight he's about 11 years old. His first looks greasy to me. He was an indoor/outdoor cat but is just indoor now (except when he sneaks out) what do u think it could be? Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Male | neutered

I'm sorry to hear of your concerns with Jack. Coughing, sneezing and nasal discharge can be seen with upper respiratory infections, foreign material such as grass stuck in the nose or even cancer. Given his weight loss and upper respiratory signs, I would recommend that you have him seen by your veterinarian. They will perform a thorough physical examination and may recommend blood work to get a better idea of what is going on.
