Can cats catch "people" colds? This has been a nasty winter - cold/flu wise - and although George has seemed perfectly fine through out it, I want to make sure my sneezing/coughing, etc...won't infect him as well.

Cats have their own cold viruses, but they are different from human viruses, so your cat should be safe.
Nope they cannot. Nor can you catch their colds.

Thanks - and good to know I couldn't catch his if he every had one. It's bad enough I'm catching my co-workers colds!
