Cats.. Colds.. Conundrums..

Sneezing in cats sometimes indicates a heart problem. But usually it's an upper respiratory infection. Break out the humidifier and if he stops eating or drinking he probably needs meds.
 
Cats get upper and lower respiratory infections. This is especially common in kittens. A vet can prescribe antibiotics if it appears to be a bacterial infection. If it's a virus, it's treated like a cold in a human.
 
Isn't a persistant cold also an indicator of feline AIDS?
Get to a vet and be sure.
 
Just got off the phone with the vet. His thoughts are an upper respiratory infection as you've suggested.

Cats.. My dog never gets sick. He just occasionally gets in the garbage and eats a few quarts of grease and shits all over the floor next to the back door... but that isn't very often.
 
My Storm had that when I brought my kittens home. It was just a little kitty cold. Watch out for kitty buggers flying your way.
 
Loads of folks miss this. Which is why I suggested it.
Even vets can miss it.
Only reason I thought of it is we've had an outbreak in my area. Cats coughing non-stop.

No cough, just a sniffing and sneezing.

Also, I am half way around the world. No reports of cat AIDS.
 
Friday at 1645.. Thats his vet appointment. I never fancied myself a cat person...

I think I may be...

Dumb cats.

they have their ways to claw you and reel you in.

i never fancied myself a dog person, but i am going to get a puppy instead a kitten! go figure.
 
He's such a beautiful kitty! I would prescribe lots of petting, chin scratchies, and nuzzling! :heart:

Well, the first day we brought him home he snuggled up in my arms and stayed there for hours. I knew i was hooked when I had everyone doing things for me....

cause you know.. I couldn't get up..

I'd disturb the cat..
