Cats may be infected with new coronavirus pneumonia if they come into contact with sick animals or people. Because cats are mammals, coronavirus can infect a variety of mammals including cats, dogs, cattle, pigs, bats, etc. Epithelial cells are mainly infected through droplets, close contact, and gastrointestinal tract transmission. After being infected with the new coronavirus, sick cats will develop symptoms such as fever, dry cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and lack of energy. In severe cases, they may suffer from renal failure or even death.

Methods to prevent the new coronavirus in cats:

1. Keep warm, supplement nutrition, and improve resistance.

2. Avoid stress; do not raise them in free range or semi-free range conditions.

3. Avoid contact with other animals in the pet hospital, and be sure to wipe and disinfect your body in time after returning from the pet hospital or pet store.

4. Meat, eggs, vegetables and other foods must be thoroughly cooked. Do not feed raw water. It should be boiled and cooled before feeding.

5. Don’t sneeze at the cat.

6. Clean and disinfect your home regularly, including the cat’s food bowl, cat litter, etc.

7. You should take off your coat promptly every time you go home, wash your hands and disinfect them before touching the cat.
