Holy crap! The virus jumped from mink to humans, and in the US it jumped from humans to minks - how many other species may be capable of transmitting this virus?!?

Had to answer that question myself - it's a bunch of them - man, this is depressing:

The zoonotic origin of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still unknown. Animal experiments have shown that non-human primates, cats, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits and bats can be infected by SARS-CoV-2. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in felids, mink and dogs in the field.




LB - hope all of your kitties are housebound and never allowed outdoors!
