The short answer is no, your cat cannot give you Coronavirus. The Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) is not the same as the Coronavirus identified first in Wuhan (2019-nCoV). The Feline Coronavirus is not transmissible to people, and so far experts have not expressed concerns about transmission to or from cats with the 2019 Novel Coronavirus. It is important, however, to understand this disease, so that you can help protect your cat. Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) is a common viral, but highly contagious intestinal infection in cats. It can be asymptomatic, but may cause a few problems, like diarrhea in most infected cats. In some cats, however, the intestinal form of FCoV mutates and turns into Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), a disease that is generally fatal.
