I think it's an enigma - but I feel that since a common cold is not species-specific, I don't see how it couldn't be transmitted to cats with such a compromised immune systems! I'm always careful not to kiss or cuddle, even with healthy cats, although there's not much I can do about being with them.

Just wondering if anyone knows if humans who are sick with a cold, the flu, etc can make a FELV+ cat sick. Magic is currently still asymptomatic (other than her diagnosis). I'm just wondering when we are sick if they are more susceptible with their weakened immune system.
