No, colds are species-specific. Most species get them, but they are not communicable between species.

I don't really know if you can pass a cold on to your cat. I always assumed you could, and made sure I stayed away from them, or washed my hands good before I touched them.

If the cat is sneezing a lot, you should go to the vet, your cat could have an upper respitory infection.

Many viruses are mutating to be multi species... The old thinking of no tranferance is being proven wrong almost daily.

As stated if kitty is sneezing and this is not normal for that cat( my herpes cats do regularly) time to call and or see the vet

I have heard her sneeze maybe about 5 times today but not sure if she has when she was hiding when my sister came over. But I have been trying to keep an eye on her.
