The H5N1 (bird Flu) Virus Is Going Around, And Cats Are Proving Especially Susceptible To It. A Big Cat

The H5N1 (bird flu) virus is going around, and cats are proving especially susceptible to it. A big cat sanctuary in Washington state had TWENTY of their big cats (cougars, tigers, etc) die of bird flu.

There have also been cases of indoor-only domestic cats getting sick or even dying of bird flu after contracting it from raw cat food. And of course coming into contact with birds also puts your cat at risk.

To keep your cat safe:

Keep them away from birds, preferably keeping them entirely inside. If they are indoor-outdoor then remove any bird feeders from your yard to make cat-bird contact less likely.

Do NOT feed them raw food of any sort, including freeze-dried raw food. Freezing will not kill the virus!

A lot of raw pet food companies are using PR speak to assure customers that their raw food is safe. Remember that at the end of the day their priority is to make money and stay in business. Unless they are testing every bird carcass for the virus their assurances are meaningless, and they certainly are not testing every bird because it would be too expensive.

Cooking kills most viruses and bacteria, including H5N1.

I love the idea of a transformer being in relationship with a human, and just being so incredibly jealous of their car. Like they understand that they can't transport their human all the time and they need their independence. They just hate it. The idea of their human being in another vehicle feels tantamount to cheating.

Whenever they see their human's car, they are constantly side eyeing it. Comparing themselves to it. Thinking about how they're better in every way compared to this metal scrap heap. They are faster, stronger, better looking. Superior in every way.

Watching their human drive the car, thinking about how that should be them. They should be the one whose cab their human is sitting in. They should be the one whose steering wheel their human grips. Not the car.

This growing to the point where they consider straight up destroying the car. Smashing it into pieces and throwing it into a nearby river. Then when their human is in need of a car, they'll come to the rescue.

At some point they start ranting at the car about how much better they are.

Transformer: I'm better than you in every way. If you got destroyed, they will just replace you. Me? I'm never getting replaced. I'm irreplaceable. They love me.

Car: *is a normal car*
