If you believe those publications that appeared in non-scientific publications, COVID-19 was detected on the fur of cats in their oral cavity nose. But the animals themselves do not hurt. See, it is still the virus would remain on some surface, say, on your clothes, furniture or skin. The same can be said about the cats.
the coronaviruses, amazing animals, very diverse. Your have cats, dogs, farm animals. Cats can’t catch the dog, cow feline coronaviruses and Vice versa. There are two types of coronavirus that affects animals: coronavirus infection in dogs (CPV) – it is transmitted from one individual to another infectious peritonitis in cats (FIP), which is a complication after suffering a coronavirus infection.
