The government considered whether it might have to ask people to exterminate all pet cats during the early days of the Covid pandemic.

James Bethell told Channel 4 News: “What we shouldn’t forget is how little we understood about this disease. There was a moment we were very unclear about whether domestic pets could transmit the disease.

“In fact, there was an idea at one moment that we might have to ask the public to exterminate all the cats in Britain. Can you imagine what would have happened if we had wanted to do that?”

This seems to be one of the MANY stories that are emerging from the leaked WhatsApp messages between Matt Hancock and many other important people during the government’s attempts to control the pandemic.

The best thing about this would have been the day-long period before the press conference where everyone was freaking out because Number 10 had already leaked it to the Telegraph https://t.co/9wM5Easw30

I've wondered before what it would take for Brits to revolt, and it turns out that the Tories at least workshopped it https://t.co/CLB2fHfK6b

If they'd have actually done this, a week later they'd have been like "actually, we got that wrong, we meant dogs". https://t.co/JvFXaEzWm5

So these people wouldn't give you proper sick pay or leave, but they did consider killing all the cats in Britain. https://t.co/R6ERLyvyld
