A cat's runny nose can be the result of a cold, virus or even a sinus infection. A runny nose is as uncomfortable and annoying for cats as it is for humans. Just like in humans, a cat's runny nose gets sore and stopped up and needs continual attention until the cause of the nasal discharge is remedied. A few simple supplies and some information are all you need to clean and comfort your cat's nose.

Instructions
Cleaning a Cat's Runny Nose
Moisten a tissue with warm water.
Gently wipe the cat's nose (and any affected area around the nose). Be careful to gently remove any crusts and all discharge.
Apply a drop of mineral oil to the cat's nose to moisturize and prevent chafing or cracking of the skin on the nose.
