These studies confirm that cats are susceptible to productive SARS-CoV-2 infection, but are unlikely to develop clinical disease. There is currently no evidence that cats or dogs play a significant role in human exposure; however, reverse zoonosis is possible if infected owners expose their domestic pets during acute infection. The first report of reverse zoonosis, or transmission from human to animal, was reported 46 from Hong Kong, where a COVID patient's dog tested PCR positive for SARS2 multiple times 47 (Sit et al.
