Quote:We found that SARS-CoV-2 replicates poorly in dogs, pigs, chickens, and ducks, but efficiently in ferrets and cats. We found that the virus transmits in cats via respiratory droplets.
The one fortunate thing is that most cats stay away from unknown people. However, with their owners, they will get right in your face. Thus they could be infected from people, and in turn, infect people.
Cat-to-cat spread would happen from fights.
As I write this, I have a cat leaning on me.
