SCIENTISTS have identified cases of human-to-cat transmission of Covid. Researchers from the University of Glasgow found two cases of SARS-CoV-2 transmission as part of a screening programme of the feline population in the UK. Researchers believe both pets were infected by their owners, who had Covid-19 symptoms before the cats became unwell. The study, published in the Veterinary Record, said there is currently no evidence of cat-to-human transmission or that cats, dogs or other domestic animals play any big role in the epidemiology of human Covid infections. But the scientists sai...

A kitten has died after contracting Covid-19 from its owner in one of two cases of human-to-animal transmission identified by scientists. A study led by the University of Glasgow discovered the cases as part of a Covid-19 screening programme of cats throughout the UK. Scientists from the university’s Centre for Virus Research (CVR) and School of Veterinary Medicine joined forces for the research, which suggests that both animals were infected by their owners who had been displaying signs of the virus. The young cat which died, a four month old ragdoll kitten, was taken to the vet in...
