In this study, a domestic cat with clear clinical signs of pneumonia, confirmed by Rx imaging, was found to be infected by SARS-CoV-2 using quantitative RT–qPCR from a nasal swab. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 disease, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as a worldwide pandemic [1] . As the cat's pathology evolved rapidly and harmfully (the animal died in as little as three days), with clinical signs and rate of disease progression similar to human COVID-19 patients, and because previously published papers reported different cases of feline infection [10, [13] [14] [15] [16] , a nasal swab was collected in order to verify a possible infection with SARS-CoV-2.	./cache/cord-293988-f5gvwjyh.txt	./txt/cord-293988-f5gvwjyh.txt
