Cat has the FLu... sneezing... , coughing, runny noses, and respiratory problems

Don't mess around with respiratory issues and your cat.

TAKE IT TO THE VET now, or later you will be facing some huge bills unless you want to put it down.

Give it colloidal silver. Worked for our kitteh!

If you aren't going to take it to the vet take it an animal rescue group. It will be in better hands. You have no business owning a cat or any other animal.

Distemper.

We lost 5 cats to distemper, it's highly contagious and deadly.

OMFG IT'S THE CAT FLU! EVERYBODY WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've had a Cat who's been in dire straits with his breathing and lack of ability to do anything through a severe flu type problem. We gave him large doses of Colloidal Silver and he quickly came out of his problem and won on both occasions. If you don't have Colloidal Silver you should either purchase some today and get it down the Cat quickly or you will need a vet bill. I strongly suggest you start getting a Silver generator and a steam water distiller for the future and always have it lying around. The best silver generators are constant current and with a quality stirring system. I'd go for the Silvergen models. Another good one is the Silver Puppy. I personally just use a Sota instruments ZBB5 Silver Pulser and mix manually with a wooden spoon (NO METAL).

In Humans Chrysanthemum flower and Japanese Honeysuckle are most excellent for respiratory problems. I don't know if Cats can take those particular herbs but I know Cats seem to love Honeysuckle bushes and go under them regular as well as spray them as their territory regular. I've given a Cat the herb Echinacea with god results in the past, you may try that.

Finally what I would suggest you try is giving the Cat himalayan salt in water or any salt for that matter in emergency. This should help the bronchi's open. The best way to do it is squirt some water down the cats mouth so its wetted by water. Then put the salt in the mouth without water. The cat won't like this. Then use a larger amount of water to clear this salt down the cat. This will fool the brain into thinking it has perfect water/salt stocks and will open the bronchi.

Most likely feline herpes not a flu.

Feline Herpes (feline calicivirus) (often mistakenly called 'cat flu') is highly contagious, thus if you have more cats you need to follow the sick cat around and clean every spot it has coughed at with an antibacterial and keep the other cats away. Further you need to isolate the sick cat from the rest.

While it is highly contagious (like Kennel Cough for dogs) it is rarely fatal, only being fatal to wee kittens and older cats or cats with existing health issues.

Its an upper lung infection, thus you usually do not have the other complications that deep lung infections cause.

Treatment should be one baby aspirin cut in half, crushed and added to something like tuna Juice (maybe a bite of tuna too to tempt the cat) every 6 hours. This will ease the symptoms. BEFORE using aspirin get acquainted with the symptoms of severe aspirin allergy for animals, like humans they can (if sensitive) enter anaphylaxis, however it is extremely rare in cats.

Usually aspirin allergy in cats results in extra scratching at themselves as they develop a minor skin rash.

The first time a cat gets 'feline flu' it will be worse than any other time. However once they have it and go through it, any other outbreak will be far less severe in symptoms.

If the cat is wheezing, or having problem breathing, take it to the vet immediately, this could be a sign that the infection has been complicated and is becoming a deep lung infection which does kill in a high number of cases.
