Four more pet cats have died from H5N1 bird flu in the US.
Two of the pets in South Dakota had no links to cattle dairy products - the first time there have been cases in pets without connections to outbreaks on farms.
The development could be significant because it suggests the virus is edging closer to humans.
South Dakota's state veterinarian, Beth Thompson, said there was no livestock on the property where the pets died, but said it is not yet known how to cats became infected.
Two other cases of bird flu in barn cats on commercial diary farms, where cows were also infected with H5N1, recently occurred in Michigan - one in Isabella County and another in Ionia County, where two Virginia opossums were also infected.

Is there an election this year?/s
Don’t eat birds. Duh! 😁👍
They have to create some excuse for those heavily vaxxed who some independent doctors and researchers say will become very ill due to immune suppression and/or ADE.
Is it possible that the cats killed and ate a bird?? It's been known to happen.
Just so long as it only affects cats this is a problem how?
Will this wipe out the “Furries” that identify as cats?
I have nothing against cats, but I support this idea
It’s jumping species. Cows have been infected, at least on human, and a number of other humans are being monitored.
Those wacky Brits and their strange words. Did Ashley Biden work on a "diary farm"?
The only cure is mail-in-ballots and drop boxes.
And a sick bird would be an easy catch for a barn cat.
NOW is the time to poison your neighborhood cats. Bird Flu!
Maybe these cats received the mNRA rabies shot.
Remember what happened to the animals in the early mNRA studies?
All died of ADE.
Better mail in this year to be safe, dontchaknow. /s
We no see your cats here.
You go now round eye.
And, whatever you do...don’t eat cats.
Fake vaxxes ready to go!
Apparently people who work with dairy cows are being advised to wear protective gear, including eye protection - some cases of conjunctivitis have been sampled and found to contain the virus. 51 dairy herds in 9 states have been found affected by H5N1.
Sounds like there will be a presidential election soon and this “bird flu” sounds like another set up.
We’ve also been exposed to years of wide open borders where Jobama isn’t checking the health of border crossers for bird flu, leprosy, chagas disease, measles, tuberculosis, malaria—-NOTHING and cases of all can be found in the US. And who knows what the Chinese are peddling in here? Maybe WHO does know. The worthless WHO and the CDC belong to Jobama.
Elect Trump and deport while closing the borders.
Jobama’s actions PROVE a blatant disregard for US citizens.The democrats don’t care if US citizens live or die. The release of covid proved that they will even use biological warfare.
Pray that Trump has good security.
The ‘bird flu’ is endemic - always present - in bird populations. I don’t think you can do much to control ‘bird border crossers’.
(But I doubt Biden’s administration is bothering to check for any diseases at all.)
I won’t go conspiracy theory here and say the govt is just trying to eliminate cattle. But I will say I’ll mourn the loss (and the farmer’s loss) if the herds have to be put down. There’s a special relationship between the farmer and their herds.
