I think pets can definitely improve your health, but can you catch a cold from Fido or Fluffy? Take this quiz to see if you can separate fact from fiction and if your cat or dog can give you a cold.

I always thought that you could.
1Well I would think if you could, they could. Their immune systems would have to be much different than ours because of their lifestyle...
2a myth i've never heard of! i figured, though, the species transmission coefficient between cat to human is much less than human to human XD
3Ouch. I though that, since you can catch other stuff, colds could be included.
4hmm i thought it was true. ah well.
5yay! i didn't think that it was possible to catch a cold from my dog.
6Yes you can catch their colds! I have one right now from them. I took one of my cats to the vet to get a cortisone shot a few days later she started sneezing then over the weekend she got real sick with runny eyes and blowing bubbles from her nose. I think she picked it up at the vet's office. She sneezed directly into my face and now I have her cold and so do my other cats.
