Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Colds in cats have a few causes such as bacterial or viral infection and duration of symptoms can vary depending on what the cause is and how severe the infection is. If Gizzy is having a cough and sneezing, I would strongly recommend Gizzy be seen by his veterinarian for an exam. Gizzy may need antibiotics and other medications as necessary to help fight off the cold. Thanks for posting and best wishes to you and Gizzy!
