So close to us and yet so far

[chani]

Cats can catch the bird flu, just like human beings (while dogs seemingly can't)...They had already their own AIDS, the FIV, and now this. They die from H5N1 virus infection in about 6 days.

We definitely have many curses in common!

Meanwhile the chikungunya fever spreads itself in La Réunion.

Can you tell I'm in a dark mood tonight?

Do your kitties go outside Chani? For some reason I thought they were house-cats and stayed in?!?!

I am worried about the cats because mine go and catch things from our local wooded area. Mostly seems to be mice at the moment, but they have caught wild birds before... *sigh*

I read that, about the cat. I wonder if the vaccine they have for birds is suitable for all animals? I can imagine a lot of people wanting to immunise their pets as much as themselves.

Looks like the scientists were right, last yesr. It's not a matter of if, it's only a matter of when.

The thought scares me less than it frustrates me. Knowing there's nothing preventative we can do. Gaargh.

Have a half bottle of Condrieu and call me in the morning.

I wonder if cats get West Nile Fever... we have that around here now.
