I had a cat go in for a dental, and come back with an upper respiratory infection. It sounded like a rattle when she breathed. She didn’t want to do anything but lay in bed. She eventually got better. I think she picked it up from the vets office.
I’m glad Moe is eating and seeking affection from you. The URI will affect his appetite.

Mary-do you know how to palpate a bladder? You may want to feel around in his pelvic area and feel for his bladder to see if it’s full or not. He’s probably not blocked because is he was he would be sitting in the litter box and trying to go with nothing coming out.
Keep us updated! I was just about to ask you how he was doing.
