Cats are susceptible to avian flu, heightening concerns about bird flu spreading from stray and domesticated cats to humans, and eventually from humans to humans.

To help better understand the situation at hand, Meowtel used data from the Department of Agriculture to explore the risk of bird flu in cats.

The latest recall comes after Portland-based pet food company Northwest Naturals issued a North American recall in December after a cat died from consuming a batch of their cat food, which was contaminated with bird flu. At the time, the company recalled its two-pound Feline Turkey Recipe raw frozen pet food.
