Can cats get the flu from humans and how can you prevent it?

Cats can contract certain strains of the flu, but it is not typically from humans. The flu that humans typically get is caused by a different strain of the virus than the one that affects cats. However, cats can catch the flu from other cats or animals, and it can be serious if left untreated.

The best way to prevent your cat from catching the flu is to keep them away from other animals that may be infected. If your cat does catch the flu, there are several things you can do to help them feel better:

• Keep them warm and comfortable
• Make sure they stay hydrated
• Give them plenty of rest
• Provide them with a balanced diet to help boost their immune system

If your cat is showing symptoms of the flu, such as sneezing, coughing, runny nose, or fever, it's important to take them to the vet for treatment. Your vet may prescribe antibiotics or other medications to help your cat recover.
