Bird flu found in cats again - Austria this time!..
 
Might mutate into a form that spreads between cats at this rate. Seems as they go around killing birds all the time they are pretty likely to get it.

Maybe a cull of cats is needed?.... ;)

Chances are that the cull will ned extending to dogs, foxes, etc.

Cat are not mutually exclusive. They may have eaten a dead bird or even just sniffed at it. Tell me a dog/fox/badger will not do the same.

When there is evidence that other animals are suceptible to the virus, then action may be required. It may be wise in the interim, for cat owners to keep their cats in doors for their own safety.

Dogs should have around the same percentage risk of infection as humans.

There will be two good things about bird flu. Loads of those dirty flying rats will die and a good amount of annoying cats too.

Some cats keep ****ting and digging up plants in my garden. So shant miss them at all.

I hope rats will get it too.

And I wonder how it will affect aids sufferers.
