A new study says cats can get coronavirus and they could also infect other cats.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison study published yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine said scientists in the U.S. and Japan ran tests that showed cats can contract the virus that causes COVID-19 from an infected human patient.
Researchers said people with COVID-19 symptoms worried about spreading it to their friends and family members should also worry about spreading it to their pet cats. They should also avoid letting their cat outside to limit contact it has with other cats or people.
