Cats In China Infected with Bird Flu

Filed under Cat Health

There is concern in China after it was discovered that a large number of cats have been infected with avian flu. Though there have been isolated reports of infected cats in other countries, this is the largest known outbreak so far.

A survey by Chairul Anwar Nidom, a scientist at Airlangga University in Surabaya, found H5N1 antibodies in 20 percent of 500 stray cats near poultry markets in four areas in Java, including Jakarta. Another case of infection was found in an area of Sumatra where there had been recent human H5N1 cases or outbreaks of the disease in poultry

The fact that the virus is beginning to move more freely from one species to another is cause for concern, especially when it involves domestic animals that have frequent human contact.

Thank God my cat's an indoor cat...sadly, he'll end up getting birdflu from me. :(

Yeah, another reason to make your pets indoor pets. Another, they live longer. I've had my cat for nineteen human years and she's still frisky.

Who cares about your cats??? I think there's another more important thing going on...oh, I don't know, maybe BIRD FLU.

Allan, the hype over bird flu is greatly exaggerated. A real virus will storm in without us even seeing it coming. Bird Flu , at best, is just a test.

Did you know:
Vaccination studies by Dr Leland Carmichael at Cornell and Dr. Schultz showed mmunity from vaccines to last at least 8 years in dogs & cats. 22,000 cats are documented to die yearly from cancer caused from irritation from vaccinations. The World Health Org. classifies leukemia and rabies vaccines as carcinogens for cats. Don't over vaccinate your pet.
