Poor Chief. It sounds like he may be having some allergies or an upper respiratory infection. I would keep him separated from all other pets right now as he may be contagious. You can try some benadryl twice a day to see if this helps. See link below. If he doesn't improve, I would have you vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to listen to his heart and lungs and even do blood work or x-rays if needed. Your vet will be able to get him started on the proper meds to help him feel better. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat /benadryl
