Officials in Oregon and Washington have issued public health warnings after it was confirmed that two indoor cats euthanized with illness had bird flu.
The cats lived in different households in Multnomah County, Oregon, but both became ill after eating raw pet food. Both felines had eaten the same brand of raw food before they became ill, with the virus being found in both the cats and samples of the food, including unopened containers. Generally, feeding your cat the best dry cat food, for example, won’t see them come to any harm, but cat parents have been urged not to feed their cats this raw food.
