Cat Flap Intruders

Just had a call from a friend of ours who found TWO strange cats sleeping on her sofa last night, presumably after entering through the cat flap. They hardly stirred as she passed them to get to the kitchen so she let them be. Her own cat, a rather lovely Persian, was fast asleep on her bed.
This morning the mystery cats had vanished. She’s wondering now if they’re regular visitors. The irony is the cat flap is NEVER used by her own cat. She’s too posh to push !

Thanks for the good advice. I will pass it all on to her tomorrow. I’ve avoided as much news as I can and hadn’t seen about the virus and cats. Don’t think it will make her close the cat flap though, as she has a kind heart and wouldn’t deny any creature some rest and comfort.
It seems there are a lot of kind hearts with regard to cats on here too smile

The coronavirus that dogs and cats can get is not the same strain as COVID19 and is not transferable to humans. Dogs have been able to be vaccinated for coronavirus for years.

Animals can spread the current virus on their fur @SueH49 but only if you touch them. The only way to be safe is to keep your own animal inside and others outside.
