Can a cat catch the Swine Flu from human?
Yes. As if they really needed another reason to feel disdain for their owners…
A cat in Iowa has tested positive for the H1N1 virus, state officials confirmed this morning, “marking the first time a cat has been diagnosed with this strain of influenza,” the association said in a statement.
“The cat, which has recovered, is believed to have caught the virus from someone in the household who was sick with H1N1. There are no indications that the cat passed the virus on to any other animals or people,” the statement said.
You want to really be sure about the symptoms here. Most of the time the cat is faking it to get out of washing the dishes.
