Coco has alot of Alergies and when the Pollen starts cming out she sneezes alot. She also gets Rashes. When she was 9 she had a bad reaction to something and her fur came out in Clumps. Your Cat might have Allergies you can talk to the Vet.

URI = Upper Respiratory Infection = cold

However, cats can't breathe through their mouths, just through their noses, so a cold can be very serious. See this recent thread from someone who fostered a cat with URI that got her other cats sick, one of whom was fine, the other of whom had a protracted serious illness.
