Yes, cats can catch the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), usually from infected humans.

How Infection Happens:

Human-to-Cat: Cats get the virus through close contact with people who have COVID-19.

Susceptibility: Cats are more likely to catch the virus than dogs because their cells have receptors that easily bind to it.

Cat-to-Cat: Infected cats can pass the virus to other cats, but the chance of a cat passing it back to a human is very low.
