COVID-19 AND CATS

[tarasgirl06]

I'm not sure whether this article strictly fits into the "CAT HEALTH" thread or not, but I don't see another place where it would, so posting it here. I've posted elsewhere about the under-the-radar, senseless and ill-advised tragic move taken by some in authority in the US re: making spay/neuter "elective" and stopping its being performed in ACCs and "shelters" and this article addresses that crisis.

Update to study finds: They would if they could.

Well, maybe YOUR cat would.

He's just keeps getting nicer and nicer. The other two just get more ornery by the day

Good for you he is, at his size. I guess your smaller cats feel they have something to prove. Because, you know.

Just curious if you were referencing an actual study, as well as joking. The reason being that I'm hoping cats turn out to be dead end hosts that don't transmit the virus to people, but am unsure what the actual state of the evidence is. I'm really hoping this doesn't turn out to be something like MERS (where contact with camels is a risk).
