Can cat colds be transmitted to humans?

Cat colds cannot be transmitted to humans because cats’ physiques are different from those of humans, so there is no need to worry about being infected. If your cat catches a cold, you need to treat it promptly and give it anti-inflammatory drugs and pet cold medicine. At the same time, you should also pay attention to keeping the cat warm to avoid aggravation of the condition. If your cat has a severe cold or even has a fever, it is recommended to send it to a pet hospital for fever-reducing injections or infusions.
