I have cats, and have been around street cats (including sick ones) through this entire 2.5 years. I've never once had covid.

And based on that sample of one we deny the science?

  • So does my cat need to wear a mask now outside and when on a motorbike?

  • But can they PROVE that  - the cat actually had Covid? - the vet caught it from the cat, and not from any other human who she came in contact with? This sounds very fishy to me!

  • The vet probably went shopping, to bars, had massages, went to the gym and did lots of other things too.  But yeah, the cat sneezed so it definitely came from the cat.   Clown world.

If you had bothered to check the link which I posted, you could have been informed that the mink to human transmission was proven because admixture of mink DNA was found in the Covid sequencing of the human victims. That does not prove that cats were the cause of somebody's Covid as alleged.

Obviously "the range of reasonable probability" went over your head.

I wouldn't say that this one case is proof of anything. It's not like you can do a peer reviewed study of one person who happened to be sneezed on by a cat, while ignoring the fact that the vet most likely came in contact with many people leading up to his infection. Cats have had coronaviruses for a very long time.

I've dealt with many cats through the years who were positive for various kinds of coronavirus, and it was never transmitted to a person. 
The reporting on this case is merely click bait and fear mongering. It's not based on legitimate science.

See my previous post about possible Covid 19 in cats. I buried 3 robust toms in 2 days.

I'm so sorry about your cats. Yes, cats have gotten coronavirus for years. But the coronavirus that infects them is not covid-19. It's different. Do some searches for coronavirus in cats.

As a number of posts have observed, the possibility of infection from the cat is farfetched, i.e. not a "reasonable probability".

Only in Thailand ????

About a year ago...  Took our young kitten to the vet for shots, first thing she did was test it for covid...

There is no possibility that the owners of the cat passed covid on to the vet, don't take your monkey to the vet as they might get monkey bussines disease 

I have no doubt that perhaps next week the update on the vet who supposedly caught covid from the cat will be that he was last seen purring loudly to himself before digging a hole in the garden to take a dump ????

Did the vet test herself or the cat?
