KatieJudasGaga4 67,907 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Two cats in New York have been infected with the novel coronavirus, federal officials announced Wednesday. Both had mild respiratory symptoms and are expected to make a full recovery. The two cats were tested after they showed respiratory symptoms, according to the agencies, and they join the ranks of a lion and a tiger in New York who were previously confirmed to be infected. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/22/health/cats-new-york-coronavirus-trnd/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eighteen 5,430 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 was it on GGD that read that this ability of the virus to be transferred relatively easily between species opens up a wider possibility of mutations occurring Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CautiousLurker 19,733 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Cats when all the people get sick when they see cats get sick It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,729 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The agencies emphasized that there is no evidence pets play a role in spreading coronavirus in the United States. "There is no justification in taking measures against companion animals that may compromise their welfare," they said. Important ^^^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 23,608 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 it's a zootropic virus anyway isn't it? meaning it started because we got it from an animal (a bat) so therefore we can give it back to animals. But poor single onlyfans gays are OVER if their damn pets start getting it from their hookups Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus Rose 5,638 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Oh no! That's so sad. If the cats we're able to catch it, does that mean that someone in the home also has it? Can the cats spread it? That's so scary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatican 4,046 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 This is scary. I heard about a tiger getting it too, so it must be easy to transmit to felines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Felines also appear to be able to pass the virus to each other through respiratory transmission, Zhigao Bu, PhD, of Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Harbin, China, and colleagues wrote in Science." https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/85860 "Here, we investigated the susceptibility of ferrets and animals in close contact with humans to SARS-CoV-2. We found that SARS-CoV-2 replicates poorly in dogs, pigs, chickens, and ducks, but ferrets and cats are permissive to infection. We found experimentally that cats are susceptible to airborne infection." Looks like it's bad for ferrets, too. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/04/07/science.abb7015 Stand in the light, cast your shadow.

B2theRich33 2,239 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 So I just had to put my cat and my dog down in the past two weeks (two separate households, two separate states) but both of them over the course of the last month developed severe upper respiratory infections. Unfortunately due to their already weakened immune systems both were not expected to make a full recovery. It was never confirmed if they in fact had it but the vets said they wouldn’t be surprised if they did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
