Human-to-cat coronavirus transmission identified by scientists in Britain

Two cases of human-to-cat transmission of coronavirus have been identified by researchers.

Scientists from the University of Glasgow found the cases of Sars-CoV-2 transmission as part of a screening programme of the feline population in Britain. The cats, of different breeds, were living in separate households and displayed mild to severe respiratory signs.

Researchers believe both pets were infected by their owners, who had Covid-19 symptoms before the cats became unwell.
