Yes, cats can get upper respiratory infections. I recommend to call your veterinarian who may ask to see Hercules since he is not yet old enough to have full protection from vaccinations. Some cats will also respond to a supplement called Lysine (make sure to get the one for cats). I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
