The cat was showing symptoms and had a known exposure. Hence, it was tested.
The cat coronavirus is a deadly disease. Once your cat gets Feline Infectious Peritonitis, it is doomed. 100% fatal. I’ve lost two cats that way.
>>>> The cat was showing symptoms and had a known exposure. Hence, it was tested.
The cat’s symptom was due to other illness, not consistent with Covid-19 in human. The only thing in this story is because the owner tested positive for coronavirus.
The positive fecal test showing virus showed that cats most likely asymptomatic but did not prove corona virus particles in the cat would/could reinfect other human (i.e. jumping from species to different species).
All it does is to create massive panic amongst the human populace that cats are virus carriers. Like the couple self-ingesting fish tank cleaner to prevent contracting the disease.
There, you happy now?
