The color: may mean infection of the small airtubes ("bronchitis) and may indicate that a chest x ray is needed! Are you a smoker?? Contact your Primary Care Professional and arrange for an evaluation. This needs attention! Good Luck! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Meow: Considering your cat has not taking over your computer then with a little more detail we at HealthTap would be able to give you a more thorough answer. Your symptoms may be from smoke inhalation from cigarettes to leaf burning. May be an allergic reaction . Have you recently moved or changed your environment? Do you have any respiratory illness history like asthma? Any dietary change?
