Hey, are you sure that cats can get it too? How did you find out? And, HOW can the get it?
Lut, there are lots of articles on the internet regarding cats and the avian flu.

It's very scary, I know!

And yes, they can pick up the virus from eating infected birds.


and this brings me to another question: if someone has the normal flue, can an indoor pet get it from you ?
Farruska, I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere that they can get the flu from us, but it depends on the type of the virus, I think...


i hope you do all you can to keep peggy nside. she will get over her homesickness for the outside if you play with her etc.
icedtea, Peggy is not my cat, she's my mother's cat and lives in her home. If she would live with me, she wouldn't be allowed to go outside. I had many arguments with my mother in the past because of this, but unfortunately, she won't listen to me.
