Default Can cats catch a human cold?

Last week I had a bad cold. I feel much better now but my youngest
indoor only cat is now sneezing and doing little kitty coughs. So far
Psycho, my oldest, hasn't gotten the cold yet. But did I give the cat my
cold? Is this possible? Thanks.

No. The colds humans get are caused by a virus that is specific to humans.

I dont think it's possible. But it is the time of year for allergies, which
kitty might be experiencing.
