Original Note:
It is misleading to state that Bird Flu is just now infecting domestic cats. Though concerning, this is not a recent phenomenon The first American instance of domestic feline infection was in Linn County, Oregon in 2022 https://www.koin.com/news/oregon/2-oregon-cats-die-from-bird-flu/amp/ Over 85 recorded cases from 2022 to February 2025. https://www.petfoodindustry.com/safety-quality/pet-food-safety/news/15736919/21-cases-of-bird-flu-in-cats-detected-in-january-2025#:~:text=The%20first%20case%20occurred%20in,routes%20used%20by%20migrating%20birds.
