A new study finds that humans aren t the only ones susceptible to COVID-19 infections. Ferrets and cats can also catch the deadly virus.
Scientists in the United Kingdom have found evidence that humans infected with SARS-CoV-2, which causes coronavirus, can transmit it to cats. Researchers from the University of Glasgow when screening the country’s feline population identified two such cases of cats contracting the virus from their infected owners.
The cats in the study did not live in the same household and were not of the same breed. Both developed mild to severe respiratory symptoms not long after their owners developed symptoms as well.
