New research also shows that the virus is not lethal, none of the cats showed symptoms of the illness, and all recovered from the virus. FMTNews Cats Covid19
New research has found that cats can infect each other with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The next day, a cat without SARS-CoV-2 was introduced to each of the cats to see if the virus would be transmitted between them by direct contact. The results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, are in line with a previous study by scientists at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which showed that cats, and also ferrets, could become infected with and potentially transmit the virus.“If they are quarantined in their house and are worried about passing Covid-19 to children and spouses, they should also worry about giving it to their animals.
However, there are confirmed cases of cats becoming infected with the virus due to close contact with infected humans, and so Kawaoka and Halfmann advise that if you have symptoms of Covid-19, avoid contact with cats.
