You did not specify where you bought your kitten, but if she was living in cold or draughty conditions or in contact with many other cats this may be a case of flu. Kittens are normally vaccinated against this with a course of injections at about 10 and then 12 weeks old. This is followed by a yearly booster vaccination.

If your kitten has the flu (Feline Influenza virus), this is a very serious condition. Whilst this could be a harmless allergic reaction or just a normal cold, we feel it is only responsible that this kitten should see a vet as soon as possible to guard against further complications. Indeed, whether or not this is a case of the flu, we would still advise prompt veterinary treatment.
