Is it safe to give your cat children’s Motrin?

Ni

I have an old cat who seems to be congested and having a hard time breathing. My mom says she been wiping his nose with tissues all day. Would it be ok to give him some children’s Motrin?? Also My mom couldn’t get him to eat earlier and I think it’s because he’s having a hard time doing so without choking or gagging. I had to chop up his food and after that he was eating alright. He ate and drank a good amount tonight compared to nothing all day..I’m a CNA so these are things I’m always observant of working with my elderly residents! Lol

He sounds so terrible when he breathes like he’s really sick, and has done nothing but lay in bed with my mom all day. That is not like him. I feel so bad. We will see how things look by tomorrow..
