COVID and Cats - new info

We still don't have complete reliable information on this virus, but the initial genome analysis indicates that it is very similar to a coronavirus normally found in bats, not identical. It was originally thought that this virus mutated and passed through pangolins in the mutation/spread process, then became infective to humans.

My meaning was that with further mutations the virus could become a more contagious form easily passed between animals (domestic pets) and humans.
