Cats can catch colds from humans, even months after the person is well.

ANSWER

cats can NOT get colds from humans! you will not give your cat your cold!

its pretty much unheard of except in extreme cases where the cold has mutated and changed to be able to affect cats, but as i said this is rare.

viruses can travel up to 1 mile in strong gusts and can transmitted to your cat from the air, just like our colds can do to us, also anything an infected cat has touched will still be infectious up to a month after but it will only get a cold from another cat!!!

There's also the possibility the cat may have Allergies and not a cold at all. Keep a close eye on the her and take her to the vet if the "cold" persists, or if she worsens, or developes other symptoms.

Can pregnancy occur when a cat is in heat but unwilling?

Pregnancy can only occur if the cat courted with a male.. It could occur even if the cat was unwilling, but I'm pretty sure if you keep your cat indoors, and watch it when you let it outside, will it avoid pregnancy. Unless you do want kittens.


Will it take a while for a cat to get warm again if it stayed outside all winter?

It will take no longer for a cat to warm up if he has been outside all winter, than it would if he were outside only for an hour or so. In fact, it may take less time, because he will have become acclimated to the cold, and may find the warmth excessive indoors.

Can your cat get your cold?

No, a cat cannot catch a human cold, just like a human cannot catch a cold or flu off a cat. These viruses are species-specific, meaning that they can only be caught from an infected animal of the same species.


What to do when your indoor cat was outside?

Assuming that the cat you are asking about has always been an indoor cat and never been outside then it depends on how long the cat was outside. If outside only briefly then a quick inspection of the cat by you to ensure the cat is ok will probably suffice. If outside for an extended period of time unsupervised, then a visit to the veternarian is probably a good idea. Have the Vet check to make sure all shots and vaccinations are current, there is no pregnacy, and whatever else is necessary for him to give the cat a clean bill of health..
