Precautions needed to keep house cats from catching, spreading bird flu

House Cats With Bird Flu Could Pose a Risk to Public Health - KFF Health News The current strain of bird flu is spreading from wildlife and livestock to house cats. To keep pets healthy, many virologists and veterinarians say, house cats shouldn’t eat raw food and should be kept indoors. Despite no known cases of H5N1 transmission between cats and people, some public health agencies and virologists are warning cat owners to be mindful of the theoretical risks to the health of humans in their households if a pet gets sick. khnkytjaw KFF Health News
