Catch colds from humans?

[jennielynn1970]

Sounds silly, but can a cat catch a person's cold?? I've got a really horrible upper respiratory infection, and my FIV boy has been sneezy lately. I just worry that he could get something from me.

Pics of Honeybun (FIV+) and Honeybun and me (looking wretched), lol. He's such a lovebug, horrendously bad breath however!

I've never heard of animals being able to catch our colds so it's probably just a coincidence that he's been sneezing. I hope you get well soon.

I think I have had animals get human colds. It seems like they don't get very sick and they shake it off quickly.
