CAUTION: Cats are susceptible to the H5N1 bird flu virus. [View all]
Indoor cats have died from drinking unpasteurized milk or from eating commercial cat foods that contain raw chicken.
Outdoor cats can become contaminated from hunting birds.
ALL cats are susceptible to this virus. That includes large wild cats, feral domestic cats, and indoor house pets if exposed to contaminated birds, milk, or meat.
