Cats, yes, big cats and small, and can transmit it to each other too.
I've only heard of a couple of cases where nasal swabs tested positive and antibodies were present in dogs that lived with covid victims, but asymptomatic, and none of transmission to humans.
Mink have transmitted it to humans however.

"To date in the U.S. there have been a handful of reports of animals testing positive for COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19. It appears the virus can spread from people to animals in some situations. However, there have not been reports of humans or pet owners contracting COVID-19 from their pets. At this time, there is no evidence that pets, including dogs and cats, can spread COVID-19 to humans"
