Pet owners in China are forcing their furry friends to wear surgical masks so they don't contract the deadly coronavirus.
Pictures are popping up online showing cats wrapped in masks that barely leave room for their eyes.

Tens of millions of Chinese people are on lockdown in an attempt by the government to stop the spread of the disease. The outbreak began in the Chinese city of Wuhan killing more than 1,000 people.
Vets doubt that the masked cats have any more protection from the virus.
"However China's National health commission has taken a different stance.
Spokesman and epidemiologist Li Lanjuan said: “If pets go out and have contact with an infected person, they have the chance to get infected.
"By then, pets need to be isolated. In addition to people, we should be careful with other mammals especially pets.”
As a result, sales of pet masks are rocketing in China."
