Cats Can Spread Coronavirus <br />Among Each Other, Study Reveals The analysis was done by scientists from <br />the University of Wisconsin and headed <br />by virus expert Yoshihiro Kawaoka. Researchers infected three cats with coronavirus <br />and then housed them with healthy ones. Over a few days, the healthy cats <br />came down with the virus as well. None of the felines showed any <br />harmful symptoms, including high fevers. The team also found that just three days after being <br />infected, the cats no longer had the coronavirus. According to experts, there is no proof that <br />COVID-19's spread has been assisted by cats. The study's researchers say more information <br />is needed to see how cats can contract <br />and transmit the virus. Late last month, two felines in New York <br />were identified to be carrying the coronavirus. According to CNN Health, both <br />only had mild cases and should recover. At NYC's Bronx Zoo, eight lions and tigers <br />were also diagnosed with COVID-19. As of late April, the zoo says that the <br />animals were eating and behaving normally. Guidelines from the CDC say that house cats <br />should be kept indoors as much as possible.
