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.

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.
