"Wash your hands before and after touching your pet, and avoid sneezing on your animal."

An unidentified male cat in Iowa is believed to be the first in the nation diagnosed with the H1N1 virus ....
Unidentified? Crap, is it Fluffy? Midnight?

A concept of which we were unaware:
Veterinarians refused to release his identity and would not divulge the coat color or any other identifying characteristics to protect client-veterinarian privacy.
Is the "client" the humanoids or the unidentified male cat?

Anyway, you really can't dispute the advice to avoid sneezing on your animal. Thanks, doc.

I wonder if it matters if your cat is typically sleeping against your head at night anyways.

Not that I have a cat now, my last cat (1984-2005) has left the building.

That's good run, we've never had one make it beyond 18.

Shouldn't have sneezed at them.

I have an acquaintance who is an epidemiologist and he has talked about this. Oh dear, this will be bad,

Why won't the little beasties just stay where they belong?
