💨 Abstract

This article explains the role of cat mucus in their respiratory system, acting as a first line of defense against inhaled irritants like dust, pollen, and bacteria. This sticky barrier prevents these particles from penetrating deeper into the lungs, with trapped particles either moved down the throat or expelled via sneezing or nasal discharge. Clear, thin mucus is normal, but changes in its appearance can signal an underlying health problem.
