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.

You can get a cold from any animal, especially if they sneeze in your mouth.

No. There are very few diseases that can be transmitted from human to cat, or from cat to human. And the common cold is most definitely not one of them.
