asking a favor from the humans

a friendly request:

if you are the sort of person who tests your cat for covid, please isolate from felines.

permanently.

i think we’ll all be happier that way…

NEW: A veterinarian probably got Covid-19 after an infected cat, which likely got the virus from its owners, sneezed in her face. The risk of catching the virus from cats remains low, but it’s a reminder to isolate from your pets when sick.

nytimes.comA new study is the first to document likely cat-to-human virus transmission, but risks are low overall, experts say.People are far more likely to give the virus to cats than cats are to pass it to humans, experts stress.

also: the science on this is already settled.
