I have Covid and Pixel decided to pet my head while I was coughing. She looked disgusted when I asked her what she was doing.

Came here to say this as well. OP, it sucks but please keep a safe distance from your cat. And get well soon!

Eh… As long as it’s an indoor cat, it’s likely fine. University of Minnesota did a study on this early on in the pandemic.

You’re liable to give your pets COVID, but they don’t seem super troubled by it at this moment, and optimizations that arrived with Omicron to increase spread in humans actually dropped spread in companion animals.

I expect as what should now be considered HCoV-SARS-2 optimizes more and more for the human tissue, cross over will get increasingly uncommon.

Bowing her head like that is her deferring to you. She's saying she's worried about you.

Stop your loud noises, they're disturbing my sleep!

Seriously though, sorry about the covid. I hope you can sleep as much through it as possible and that you have a fast recovery. Be as kind as possible to yourself!
