Sort of true. They have been doing research into animal transmission of COVID-19. Some species are more susceptible than other, cats much more so than dogs. There was only one case of an infected dog in Hong Kong (that we know of). Cats were able to transmit the virus to other cats. A tiger in the Bronx Zoo got it from a handler. To date, however, there are no known cases of animal to human transmission, although this whole thing may have started with bats in an open meat market in Wuhan.
