Can a person carry a kitty cold from one house to another?
We had a house guest on Wednesday and he travels a lot... Sillybilly
started sneezing on Saturday and she hasn't stopped I think she might have a kittycold but I don't see how she could have caught it unless our guest brought it with him! In which case I'd have thought that Tessie would be the sneezly one because she wanted to give him a free tongue bath :P |

I imagine one can, but this time of year, I'd check pollen count first.

unless our guest brought it with him! In which case I'd have thought Yes, if a person is with a cat that has an upper respitory infection, that person can carry it on his clothes or hands and if he touches another cat, they can get it also. That's why people who work in shelters and vet clinics change their clothing and wash up before they handle their own cats. -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |

That's why people who work in shelters and vet clinics change their clothing and wash up before they handle their own cats. People who work in shelters and clinics are often going from one animal to the next, so it's good to wash up between animals, or even at the end of the shift, before going home to one's own pets. But if somebody's travelling, and happened to get a kitty cold virus on them before leaving, would the virus still be alive on the person by the time they arrive at their destination? I guess it depends on the distance and time it takes to get there, but it would seem to me that that length of time in between contacts would make it pretty safe. But I could be wrong, of course...
