Cat urine won't cause a sinus infection, at least not directly. Cat dander, cat hair, and cat waste are terrible allergens for many people. The irritation and allergic reaction can help clog the nose and sinuses, and when sinuses are not allowed to drain then bacteria can take advantage of the situation.
Sinus rinses (low pressure, high volume) like Neilmed brand can be extremely helpful.
Make sure to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter.
Clean the cat box regularly and wear a dust mask when handling the cat box.

∙ 13y agoI think it's very common for cats to get respitory ailments. I have one outside cat (a stray I feed) that has had an infection for a year. It shoots a lot of green snot out of it's nose, gets better, then it's back to the snot. He's been checked by a vet, I think this cat is just pre-disposed to being "snotty". I wouldn't spend $100 let alone $1,000 to find out the details. The cat seems fine other than the snot issue, so I'll just save that money and give it a nice treat of some canned tuna once in a while.

it is very hard to catch it, someone would have to take their mucus from the sinus and olace it in your sinus cavity.
