Colds and Flu

Quick question. Can Kittens have a cold, just sneezing really, and it not be Cat flu? Thanks

I had the same Q a couple of weeks ago, and several people said yes, cats can catch colds. One of my girls was sneezing a couple of times every few hours, and I'd never seen that pattern of sneezing from her. It lasted for about 3 or 4 days, with the sneezing slowly tapering off. I didn't really notice anything else in her behavior, and she's back to normal now.
