I read on PetCareRx that it is very rare for a cat to catch a cold from a human. But if you notice symptoms like a runny nose or sneezing in your cat, make sure you contact the vet.

Yes they certainly can. I got a cat from the humane society and he came home sneezing. It can be caused by Allergies, an upper respiratory infection or simply a cold.

No- as much as all cat lovers fear that diseases and illnesses can be passed on to their pets, cat colds and human colds are different illnesses entirely.
