The lack of appetite is probably due to the stuffed nose (he can't smell his food), this obviously needs to be treated medically but until tomorrow the only thing you can try to do is to offer him foods with very strong smell such as sardines for example.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It would be best to get her used to a feeding schedule as that way she will consistently eat at the same time every time. While you can give milk, it is not necessary if she is on a good diet. The sneezing may be due to an allergy to something in the environment or an upper respiratory infection so if this continues, it would be best to have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, she may be fine. Best of luck!

Cats can feel very vulnerable when confined in a carrier and it would be very stressful to be put outdorrs with no means of escaping any threats and predators. If possible try to arrange for someone else to collect the cat

As long as Sunshine is eating and drinking you can monitor him at home. I recommend feeding wet food with added water and warm it in the microwave for eight seconds. The food will smell better and increase his eating and the added water will help maintain his normal hydration. If he should become depressed, lethargic or stop eating, please take him back for a recheck right away. He's a senior cat so I don't want him to go long without treatment if he's not feeling well. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sunshine.

Cats are obligate nasal breathers, meaning that they do not breathe through their mouths unless they absolutely have to (such as when the nasal passages are swollen / inflamed). If Lynx is sick and cannot breathe through his nose, the flight may be too stressful for him and for him to open mouth breathe would not be good for that long. If he is sick, I would recommend postponing the flight or boarding him somewhere to play it safe. I hope this helps!
