Unscientific anecdote:

In March 2020, our cat, then nine years old, seemed to have been infected by me.

The symptoms were right: The cat sneezed, a lot, and slept away a couple of weeks on my lap, which she never had done before. Afterwards I discovered that she'd started drinking much more water than before, and the amount of urine in the litter box is noticeably larger.

Since then, both of us have become considerably weaker and older.
