Generally a cold is an Inflammation of the nose and throat characterized by increased production of mucus. While human colds are associated with a change in season, Cat Colds are independent of seasonality and are usually caused by a virus.
The most important thing to note is that a virus must run its course and cannot be killed by drugs. Treating Viral Infections, especially in the feline respiratory tract is futile.
That said, cat owners should remember that although the symptoms of Cat Colds are similar to those experienced by humans, there is a vast difference in how Feline Colds should be managed.

The Immune System in a cat’s body has a committed task. It is a complex interconnected system of white blood cells, antibodies and other substances that are released to combat infections and eliminate foreign proteins. On recognition of a foreign invasion, the system releases antibodies which chemically bind with antigens to destroy them.
The important part of the Immune System is that it is supposed to recognize foreign substances and respond immediately to destroy them. Unfortunately it does not happen like this always. Certain disorders cause the controlling mechanism of the Immune System to fail and it produces antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues. These are known as autoantibodies.
The resultant disease is known as an autoimmune disease. Even though it is known that an autoimmune disease is caused by production of these autoantibodies, the underlying causes are complicated and not thoroughly understood.

Everyone seems on edge about the latest outbreak of avian flu. People in China are told to kill their poultry in order to keep the virus from spreading. Meanwhile people in the United States watch on in fear that the avian flu will come to their shores. So what exactly is all the hubbub about? After all, every winter millions of people come down with bird flu.
Origin of Influenza
Influenza, the term, came into use around 1504, though it had little to do with the virus. It came from the word: influence. At the time, influence meant: ‘the ethereal power of the stars acting on men.’ It was basically a supernatural way of explaining the effects of disease on people at the time. During a particularly nasty outbreak of the flu in Europe during 1743, the term was officially attached to the name of the disease. 96 years later, the term was shortened to just: flu.

The three most common vaccines give protection against feline infectious Enteritis (FIE), feline influenza (Cat Flu) and feline leukaemia (FeLV).
