I recently bought some cats from a lady who lives on a farm, And the kitten sneezes all the time and I think coughs a little and when she sneezes boogers fly out of her nose. She also has a little bit of drainage from her eyes. Do cats catch colds and if so will this go away on its own like humans do?? Please any advice will help.

hope the kitty feels better!
no, i dont think so because you know i have a dog and he sneezes alot and nothing is wrong with him!!!
take her to the vet immediatly!! cat colds are different than people colds and something could be seriously wrong. i hope they feel better soon.
My kitten had the same exact thing when we first bought her.
The vet told me it was a viral infection, but there was nothing that could be done for it,a nd it would just go away on its own.
and shes fine now. :]
I wouldnt worry too much about it, its a kitten so its getting used to its environment. Just keep an eye on her and if things dont get better go to Petco or something and get help there. Good Luck!
the cat may have allergies and you should take it to the vet to get medicine for it
sounds like they have a cold . i would recommend taken them to the vet.
it might have an allergy.
but cats sneeze from time to time.
show ur vet.
vets know best *!*
It sounds like your cat may have some type of upper respiratory infection. Don't expect it to go away on it's own. Get her checked out to determine which type of infection she has and what treatment would best be suited to heal her.
And know that colds in cats are an entirely different matter than in humans. If left untreated, they can easily kill them. This comes from my own experience in which one of my 4 cats developed such a condition and almost died from it.
The vet told me that it was just a simple cold, but that if I hadn't treated her that it could be fatal. I also had to follow-up with care for my other 3 cats because it was also HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS. I nearly lost them all, their temperature was so high and they were so sick.
Don't wait to take the kitten to the vet.
ok listen to me very carfully. Idk wut the symtoms are but you have got to google it RIGHT now! EMERGENCY. I sure do hope ur cats have gotten their shots because right now there is a DEADLY disease carried by cyotes! i just got 2 puppies 1 week ago and they are 11 weeks old. they are not allowed to take walks or anything for another 2 1/2 months b/c they have to get their shots and if they pick up the disease they will die. i hope ur cats got their shots. if they didnt google this right now and call ur vet.
it could be a cold, which is caused by a virus, or it could be an upper respiratory infection, caused by bacteria, you can not tell the difference, only a vet can. And even if it is a cold, a lot of times they will get a secondary bacterial infection, and you're back to upper respiratory infection. URI's need to be treated with antibiotics, you can only get these at your vets. Sounds to me like your kitten has an URI, all the discharge is bad.
Oh stop being so cheap and take that kitten to a VET!! You KNOW it's the right thing to do -- and not waste time asking unqualified strangers on the internet. Such advice costs nothing and could actually be harmful. To the VET!!
It is your pet's RIGHT BY LAW to receive proper medical care and to deny it is abuse. If you can't or won't get your pet to a vet and provide responsible care, then you have no right to have one.
If possible, I would take your cat to the vet. It sounds like she may have an upper respiratory infection.
Yep, cats get upper respiratory infections. Since they are viruses, there is no medication for it, you just have to make sure your kitty is getting food and water. Many vets, though, will give an antibiotic to prevent secondary infections, so I would take your kitty to the vet to get checked over. Good luck
Upper respiratory infections are common in cats; many are minor but some can be quite serious. The presence of 'boogers' suggests a bacterial infection, which should be treated. If it's a 'farm' cat there's a good chance it hasn't been vaccinated an de-wormed; it sounds stable so you don't have to rush out tonight but have a veterinarian check it as soon as possible. It might be good to check the other cats as well. I hope you didn't pay too much for unvaccinated and possibly sick animals...
Is the kitten vaccinated? Cats do get colds and can have allergies. Get her to the vet as soon as you can and make sure she is drinking and eating.
