Optional Information

Answer

Cats can get upper respiratory infections which are similar to colds in humans. They are not transmissable to humans and most of them need antibiotics from the vet - especially if you are seeing green or yellow discharge from the kitty's nose or mouth.

Please let me know if I can assist further!
