>The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) today announced the first confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) infection in two pet cats. These are the first pets in the United States to test positive for SARS-CoV-2.
>The cats live in two separate areas of New York state. Both had mild respiratory illness and are expected to make a full recovery. SARS-CoV-2 infections have been reported in very few animals worldwide, mostly in those that had close contact with a person with COVID-19.

It's not for the benefit of snuffles, I'd recon. Knowing unexpected vectors for contamination i.e. pets, give us better foundation to develop procedures for mitigating the spread.
So what? If you live in the countryside is not an issue, if you live in the city your cat does not go out. If you live in the suburbs you deserve to die.
