Prior to this, I didn't know cats could exhibit very obvious cold like symptoms. Whatever it was passed quickly and he was fine two days later despite how miserable he looked here.

The issue what cats getting cold is that they lose their smell and suddenly they don't eat the usual food because "it doesn't smell like before". And you have to help them remove theur mucus since they can't do it like us. FFS

Not much, we have one that tends to get colds and we try to clean her nose with a damp cloth, and put more delicious/smelly wet foot so the smell overpowers her mucus but sometimes it's hard.
