A Cold Can Kill a Cat
American Shorthair Cat
A cold is not a disease, but it can still kill a "kitten." This article provides a detailed explanation of the pathogens of feline colds, the resulting symptoms, treatment, and prevention methods. It will be very helpful for readers who have kittens at home, especially young kittens.
A cold in adult cats may have very mild symptoms, but the same disease in kittens under three months old can cause severe illness or even death. The formal name for a cold is "upper respiratory infection." Kittens under six months old are most susceptible. If the kittens live in groups, such as breeding facilities or households with multiple cats, the chance of infection is even higher. If you currently have kittens or frequently come into contact with kittens, you must understand and pay attention to this disease and know how to protect the new members of your household cats from this disease.
