In the wild or in captivity? Regardless, thats odd.

Side note: Pepper woke up coughing in the middle of the night last night...

Not really... early evidence weeks ago suggested that cats were more susceptible to contracting the virus than dogs.

Supposedly, the original strand of covid-19 has mutated "at least 30 times" according to the media. Not sure how valid this is, but, it can't be a good sign when it mutates at all.

Sometimes, viruses can mutate in a way that does not benefit them. That might explain why they can suddenly disappear, or how you get milder or more severe strains.

It can also make chasing cures and vaccines more challenging.

Oxford University has just begun clinical trials of a possible vaccine. Fingers crossed!

Interesting in that SARS-CoV-2 is a betacoronavirus, which felines are not normally susceptible to.

Apparently recovering. But might be worth researching how this virus became a reverse-zoonosis. And how the cats immune systems responded.

I can see it now. Some redneck wondering into the cage, "Here kitty kitty". LOL
