Last night I was cuddling with Harley and I noticed that whenever he would breathe thru his nose, it would sound squeeky-as tho his nose would be pluggued up, or how ours would sound when you have a cold.


Do cats get colds like humans do?

Yes, and like humans, some cats get more colds than others. Spike, for instance, very rarely gets colds at all, whereas Oz will get a cold if you look at him funny. That being said, you probably want to take Harley in for a vet check, just to rule out something more serious.

Your Ollie is so cute, I just :
him!

I checked him out this morning and he sounded okay, not stuffy, do you think I should still get him checked out? I don't want him to get anything serious!

Marlee was a little sneezy for a few days but her shots were coming up so I waited til the appt. for them (only like a day away). The vet said she looked fine and didn't feel hot. He said not to worry unless her sneezes started producing color ( as it was, it was just clear, cause I would check her with a kleenex after each sneeze). I think she just has allergies, cause every once in a while its like dust bothers her and she'll sneeze a bit. If you're worried, don't hesitate to take him for a vet visit! Hope he feels better soon.
