Avian Bird Flu Outbreak Among House Cats ... Settle Down J.D. Vance

Cat owners have more than J.D. Vance to worry about now -- a deadly strain of avian bird flu is spreading to house cats, according to researchers.

The bird flu, which scientists call H5N1, had been ravaging American farm animals for the last 2.5 years -- killing 100 million birds and impacting nearly 200 dairy farm herds -- but now it's jumped to indoor cats.

Researchers say the numbers aren't huge yet, a New York Times report says at least 21 kitties have caught it, but the concern is how they're getting it. One of the cases was a cat that lived on a dairy farm ... so, that one makes sense.
