The clinical condition was finally attributed to a feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but the animal was also infected by SARS-CoV-2. The detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in several samples of C1, all of them with Ct values over 30 (low viral load), and presence of antibodies (neutralizing and nonneutralizing) in both C1 and C2, indicated both animals suffered from a productive viral infection, probably linked to the exposure of the cats to COVID-19−affected owners. These experimental results, together with the few reports on SARS-CoV-2 detection in domestic cats and wild felids, indicate that felines are susceptible to infection by the novel coronavirus.	./cache/cord-309418-dx6e0lri.txt	./txt/cord-309418-dx6e0lri.txt
