For First Time, Flu Spreads From Birds

To cats ... it has already spread from birds to humans ... just not contagiously from human to human.

So, if I don't add cats to my diet I'm in no more danger than I was before.

We're all gonna die. Seriously. That's a given. Death is batting 1.000 with the exception of Enoch.

Wouldn't it be great if the bird flu just crosses over to cats, and no other species?

Think of it-- a world without cats!!!

Three cats have tested positive for the deadly strain of bird flu in Austria's first reported case of the disease spreading to an animal other than a bird, state authorities said Monday.

That's not true. A cat in Germany died last week from eating a bird that had bird flu.

The sick cats were among 170 living at an animal shelter where the disease was detected in chickens last month, authorities said.

Were the cats infected without direct contact with the infected chickens? In that case, this is a major step. Until now, only consumers of infected birds have become sick.

Are we looking at Bird Flu hitting our shores in July or August of this year, or is it a multi-year issue? As in Bird-Flu hitting us in 07 or 08.

The question is did it spread from cat to cat or did they catch it from birds?

Pretty cruddy news write-up. She makes it sound like cat-to-cat transmission has occured. But she fails to directly state that. Sheesh.

That's basically a given.

It's how soon and how badly that worries me.

"We're all gonna die. Seriously."

There's nothing I hate more than being
seriously dead.

If you're not prepared to die, you're not prepared
to live.

"I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (Jn. 10:28).
