I (Ginger) have caught a cold but has had no contact with any other cats and only go out occasionally on a harness and lead.

So how on earth did I catch cold except from my 3 humans that are all sniffling, coughing and sneezing?

I went to the vets this morning and got a shot {{{hiss}}} and 5 days medicine but my human forgot to ask the vet where I would have caught it from.

What do you guys think?

A few years ago, I had a pekingese who was closer than my shadow. I was in the bed SICK 4 days and nights. Almost the first thing I did when I got better was take her to the vet for a sore throat and a runny nose.
So I agree you got your human(s) cold.

When Spyder was sick I asked the vet if they could catch it from humans because my sister was sick at the time, and he said cats don't catch illness from people.
