If you’re sick and worried, keep a little distance. Let your cat sleep at the foot of the bed, not on your face. Wash your hands before feeding them. And if they start sneezing after you recover, call the vet—not WebMD.
Remember: you and your cat are different species, sharing a home, but not sharing the same immune system. Your flu is yours. Their sneeze is theirs. Most of the time, it’s just a weird, funny coincidence.
And if Jasper sneezes in your mouth again? Just laugh, wipe your face, and tell yourself it’s probably just cat hair. Yeah, that’s it.
