"People should not worry about getting Covid-19 from their cats; rather, cats should worry about getting it from their people," said Angela Bosco-Lauth, the lead author on the new paper. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that infected cats shed the virus while dogs do not. Infected cats in the study spread the virus to healthy cats. Cats that were infected developed antibodies, which suggests cats might be a good model for vaccine development, according to the study.
