       SUMMARY -  A cat in the state of Oregon has died after eating
       raw cat food that contained the H5N1 bird flue virus (otherwise
       referred to as HPAI, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza).
       Northwest Naturals, a pet food company based in Portland,
       Oregon, said Tuesday it had voluntarily recalled one batch of
       its two-pound Feline Turkey Recipe raw frozen pet food after it
       tested positive for the virus.

       Here's another related news story...
       Summary:
       New bird flu warning for pet owners

       Masked Man Side-Note: Even though bird flu wasn't happening at
       the time I thought about this when covid first came out and was
       being discovered in deer and they speculated beef cattle might
       get covid and because I had some dog food that contained deer
       meat in it and beef and I started contemplating microwaving my
       pet food..
       ...now this reasoning to worry should apply to bird flu that's
       for sure.  I thought about the possibility of pet food being
       tainted because for all I know maybe it doesnt get overseen
       probably as strictly as other foods and simply has tons of
       different animal ingredients in it...maybe a lot of raw things
       in it don't get cooked enough.
       Someone can further study this but I'm not sure pet food get the
       same FDA tests people food does... I don't know much about pet
       food but its scary enough that I'm going to microwave my dog and
       cat food a little from now on just to warm it up and just in
       case the microwave helps kills germs or virus's in some of the
       raw ingredients animals may be prone to  in these products...
       I'm not sure if this helps or not but it's MICRWOWAVE TIME for
       Fido's meal!!!  Might as well heat it up! what have I got to
       lose by microwaving it? Not only that I don't wanna get bird flu
       from my own dog and cats just in case! That just makes sense to
       cook it! I guess technically bringing things to a boil kills
       germs.
       In the meanwhile if Someone else in this forum can research that
       germ killing heating procedure and reply that would be great.
       P.S. Ive got a little Chihuahua breed that sleeps in the same
       bed as me and a little kitten that plays on my chest! I think I
       can manage to nuke or cooks their meals...lol
       By the way, this may account for some of the mysterious human
       bird flu cases.. you never know but its quite feasible some of
       these people with bird flu got it from playing with pets. If
       people get bird flu from their pets then that's gonna skyrocket
       bird flu numbers... Look at all the cats that are sick in the
       zoos. These local veterinarians and animal care and control
       people better mask up ..its not looking pretty.
       I just fed "Scamp" my dog his food microwaved and he wolfed it
       down and he likes it better warmed up like that.
