Rare....very rare a human sickness will go over to an animal.
That is what the big hype is over the bird flu from Asia cause it IS going from animal to human.
Pet you cat and give it some love.......a cat can be the best thing when you are sick, they will lay with you, keep you warm, and want to nurse you. They can sense when we are sick, sad, depressed, etc.
Cats are smarter than most give them credit for.

Wow do you not know anything about cats! Cats don't catch things from people. If she's acting the same as usual, she is probably fine. If her pale nose is a sign of something, then her gums will be pale also. That is caused by anemia, which can be caused by worms, among other things. A warm nose often indicates a fever, but that is usually accompanied by lethargy and lack of appetite. If you are concerned, see your vet.

do not worry cats noses are kind of like our skin sometimes especially a pink nose can get darker or lighter, just depending on the weather, also sometimes kitty noses and even their fur can get lighter and darker. i have a golden tabbie named of course goldie, when i got her as a 4 week old baby she had a totally pinkl nose, when she turned about 1 i noticed she was getting little black spots like frekles on her nose i called my vet cause i have never seen this she said basically they are frekles, and that cats can get darker or lighter fur and noses, so if she is acting normally just make sure your hands are washed with antibacterial soap like dial, and i am sure all will be fine, eme at iadorecats1955@netscape.com and let me know how everything is. god bless ps it is almost impossible for a human to pass anything to a cat too

Your cat is probably fine. Most cat illnesses don't cross over to humans and vice versa.
I'm not sure what could be wrong with her nose, though. If you're really worried, a trip to the vet will set your mind at ease.

Consider that your getting sick and your cat's symptoms are a coincidence. I don't think that cats can catch anything from humans. If your cat seems sick, it will become more obvious if she really has a problem, and then I would hope you'd take her to a vet. If you get better and she seems fine, then all's well that ends well.

I kinda doubt you got your cat sick. A warm nose means nothing.
If your cat has other abnormal behavior then I would get you cat into a vet.

It is highly unlikely that any germ you might have picked up could be transmitted to your cat or vice versa. Go pet your kitty and let her know you love her.

I think she is OK if she acts the same and eats/drinks.Pet her they need attention and affection like we do.I can tell by all the dogs and cats I've had in my life.
