Bordetella is a highly contagious bacterium; cats are just more resistant to it than dogs, causing it to be much rarer in cats and much less severe in otherwise healthy adult cats.

cats tend to catch kennel cough from other infected cats.

There is little evidence that cats can catch kennel cough from dogs.

Can kennel cough be transmitted to cats?

  • Dogs infected with the kennel cough bacteria can transmit it to cats and visa versa. The bacteria is air born which means it can be transmitted very easily from animal to animal. If a cat sneezes or even meows, they spread the bacteria through the air which then infects other animals they come in contact with.
