There is an Avian Influenza H5N1 outbreak in the US.

Here’s what we currently know:
1. Cats, cows, pigs and humans are affected
2. Transmitted in cats by eating raw poultry (hunting birds) and drinking raw milk
3. Symptoms include fever, severe eye and nasal discharge, severe depression, neurological signs like circling, difficulty walking, blindness and seizures
4. Contact us as soon as you notice symptoms in your cat. Unfortunately, this disease is often fatal.
5. Prevent disease by keeping your cat indoors and don’t feed it raw poultry or milk

Trust an animal’s intuition:

Jenny the cat was the Titanic's mascot, brought on board to help fight rodents. She lived in the ship's galley and was cared for by a laborer named Jim Mulholland.
During the sea trials, Jenny gave birth to kittens and Jim found them a comfortable place next to the ship's galley. Caring for the mother cat and her kittens broke up the monotony of Jim's work preparing the Titanic for sailing. Jenny seemed content with her warm place near the boilers, her babies, and the kitchen scraps that Jim brought her. However, as soon as the ship docked in Southampton, England, just before it began its maiden voyage (to New York), Jenny took a good look at her surroundings and quickly began grabbing her kittens by the necks and carrying them out. One by one, down the gangway she led them out of the ship.
Jim watched her carefully and realized that "this cat must know something that no one else does!". He then quickly gathered his few belongings and left the ship as well.
Years later, Irish Road published Jenny's story after a journalist spoke to a very old man - Jim, who told the story.
He survived thanks to the cat and her kittens who warned him.

The darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is. White chocolate isn’t toxic at all since it technically isn’t chocolate.
