Sorry, this seems like such a minor question.
When Eyvan was a baby he had black crusties around his nose but when the vet checked him out he said he was fine. As he got older his nose cleared up. At the beginning of November our family picked up a flu bug and Eyvan suddenly got really sleepy and got a snotty nose (black crusties) but it only lasted a few days and he was back to normal. I should say that Ziva, the kitten had the same thing happen. We had read that some animals were getting the swine flu with their owners and since they were better we didn't worry.
Now one of the kids brought home another virus and Eyvan is the same way; sleepier than normal, black crusties, and this time I'm noticing watery eyes on and off, not running, just look wetter inside. Other than that he's fine, eats well, plays during the day (and part of the night
).
Is it normal for a cat to get the flu with it's people? If it weren't for his thin nostrils that get crusty, we might not have even stopped long enough to notice.
