In case you haven't heard, there is an emerging epidemic of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (aka HPAI or Bird Flu) that has been infecting dairy cattle in the Midwest. The first thing the cow vets noticed - and what alerted to a potential problem was the sudden absence of dairy farm cats. Turns out that's because they were dying from drinking the raw cows' milk. If you are a raw milk drinker, you should stop until this gets sorted out. It's new. Nobody knew cows could contract it or that it would kill cats. And we don't know where it will end.
