Max likely is suffering from an upper respiratory infection. The earlier this is treated the better. Sometimes these infections get chronic and therefore it is advisable that you take Max to your vet for an exam and treatment. Another problem is that cats with a stuffy nose cannot taste their food and therefore often will not eat. Cats that do not eat can get liver disease.....so it is not a good idea to let the cold run its course. It is better to treat it right away.
