my baby's coughing

[beaute]

can anyone tell me if it's okay for cat's to cough???

my baby just started coughing.. he doesn't do it all the time, but he does occasionally... i took him to the vet but he said nothing's wrong... could this be a sign of bird-flu??? i have no idea if it gets cats too that's why i'm asking. please tell...

Would think if he check out OK with vet then hes OK. Dogs get kennel cough, but do not know if cats can get that. Might have a fur ball, if it does not clear up in a couple of days take him back to the vets. I do not think you need to worry about bird-flu.
