"Bird flu was detected in house cats in the U.S."
From March to August 9, 2024, 36 cats tested positive for bird flu in the U.S. Cats are more likely to get bird flu than other mammals because they eat wild birds or are fed raw milk, raw cat foods, or uncooked meat with the virus. While some of the infected cats lived on dairy farms with cows that were infected with bird flu, at least three indoor-only cats died from bird flu in Colorado. Transmission risk to humans from cats is low, but possible.
