Can I Catch A Cough From My Cat?

Question

My sister has had a cough for a long time now and I'm almost definently sure I caught mine off her. But because I am bringing up a lot more sputum than she did, she thinks I caught whatever I have from my cat, because my cat sneezed, from quite high up, onto my face one time. Is this possible? Who's in the right, here?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

No, it's not possible.  Cats can't make us sick and we can't make them sick.  They can pass things between each other, but not to humans.

Answer 3

You absolutely cannot catch a cold or cough from a cat.  Your genetic makeup is too different.

Answer 4

lol. no.

Answer 5
