What happens if a kitten is exposed to wind/a draft?
Kittens have weak immunity; prolonged cold wind can cause a chill/cold—sneezing, runny nose, cough, fever, poor appetite, lethargy. Severe cases may lead to pneumonia or bronchitis. Abdominal chilling causes diarrhea/vomiting. Keep warm; see a vet if symptoms appear.

After my cat’s bath I didn’t dry it thoroughly; it had diarrhea for two days and sneezed a few times but has no other symptoms. Is it a cold? What should I do?
Diarrhea and sneezing after a bath are likely due to chilling and stress. If the diarrhea has stopped, give pet probiotics to settle the gut. If it continues, use pet bismuth subcarbonate, smectite, and amoxicillin clavulanate. Keep your cat warm and feed a bland diet; watch for two more days before using cold medicine.
