2 cats both with sneezing issue and large green snots flying. Sometimes sneezing fits and sometimes in your face when petting them. Nothing else seems to be wrong but this has been going on for a while and doesn't seem to clear up after antibiotics for very long comes back and little impact.

Have you tested the cat for feline herpes virus?  It's a chronic URI that returns over and over again. L-Lysine in the diet can reduce the severity and duration.  See the link below.

Been there, done that!!  What worked for us was having the vet do a culture and sensitivity test on the snot.  The culture tells the vet what you're dealing with, what kind of infection bacterial or viral and the culture tells the vet which medication will most effectively treat it.  It's the only way to truly know what's going on since you've tried antibiotics and it keeps coming back. 

We went through about 8 months of this several years ago with my Hannah and the C&S test was the only way we got it figured out and cleared up.
