Nah H1N1 is swine flu which fizzled out in 2009/2010 and is endemic now. I’m worried about the newer virulent strains like H7N3 and H7N9 that have been known to pass between birds and cats, and have a high mortality rate in cats.

Thankfully she’s an inside kitty already so hopefully it should be ok. I’ll be keeping an eye on the health of the maggies and other birds.

All good, I think we’re starting to lose track of the pandemics

Edit: I am also tired and put the wrong strain 😴
