A cold?

petunifer · Feb 11, 2014

I have had a pretty bad cold for about 2 weeks and now my kitten is sneezing. Is it possible that she could've caught my cold?

from what I know chances are very slim.to none... read somewhere though the opposite , but that is a question you need to ask your vet

Cats cannot catch a cold from humans. Your cat probably has an upper respiratory infection, time for a visit to the vet!

Actually you can trasmit a cold/flu to dogs and cats. http://oregonstate.edu/urm/ncs/arch...-raises-concerns-about-human-pet-transmission I have seen it happen sometimes (I work for a vet), I do know that strep throat is especially catching.

It's very rare, and it seems they're talking only about the flu. Interesting read though. Regardless, the cat should see a vet.
