Baby is a lovely black one-year-old domestic short-hair. She was surrendered to CAPS with her kittens. She is looking for that special someone who will take time to be with her and give her love. Black cats are good luck and you could be the lucky person to take her home.
Dr. Watson here and I want to assure you that the COVID-19 virus isn’t transmitted by your pets. I know this because Rover just issued a study done by the Center for Disease Control that gives guidelines for folks with pets.
According to the CDC there is no reason to think that any animals in the United States might be a source of infection with this new corona virus. To date, CDC has not received any reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19.
Actually there isn’t evidence that companion animals including pets can spread COVID-19. However, it’s always a good idea to wash your hands after petting or playing with animals. So, there you have it, your pet isn’t spreading COVID-19.
There are lots of ideas on how to keep you and your pet safe during this time. If you suspect your BFF has been around someone who has the COVID virus, give him a bath. Walk daily and keep your distance from other pets and pet parents. You can do yoga with your BFF but dad and I enjoy just hanging out together. Of course, if you are hanging out a lot, be sure to cut down on the goodies. Mom loves to bake so she’s making us go for more and longer walks.
While pets don’t get the COVID-19 virus they can get the flu. Both dogs and cats can get the flu. There are two strains of canine influenza: H3N8 and H3N2, and two strains of feline: FHV1 and FVC. The good news for humans is they can’t catch any of them.
If you or your pet does get the flu, do what my mom does for me. I get lots of rest, plenty of water, and she makes chicken soup for me. Dr. Watson also recommends T.L.C. and treats.
XOXO Watson
