This probably seems like a silly question, but I'm still bottle-feeding Mo - my 3 week old kitten, & I think I may have strep throat, maybe just a cold, & I was wondering if he could get sick. He likes to be right up by my face whenever I'm holding him. Can cats/ kittens catch people sicknesses? By the way Mo is doing great!
He is 3 weeks, & 2days old now, & weighs 11oz. He eats like a champ - about half an ounce of kitten formula 3x a day, in addition to what he's getting from mama. To think, less than a week ago, vet said he was a fading kitten w/ only a 50% chance of survival. Thanks to everyone out there for all your support, guidance through this!

If you have strep throat and you kiss your kitten on the face, he could become ill. I would be very careful handling him, and not breathe on him as well.

Hope you feel better soon- *if it is just a cold, he can't catch it, but strep, he could.*
