•An unusual G6P[5] rotavirus A strain, FRV537, was isolated from a stray cat.•The genotype constellation of FRV537 was G6-P[5]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A13-N2-T6-E2-H3.•FRV537 showed a close relationship with bovine rotaviruses in all genome segments.•The cat was most probably infected with a bovine rotavirus st...
