Placeholder. A cat somehow transmitted H5N1 bird flu to a human veterinary professional, with the transmission traced specifically back to the cat eating raw pet food — a real, CDC-documented public-health event connecting the raw-pet-food trend directly to a genuine zoonotic disease risk.
What we've found so far: CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report documented serologic evidence of H5N1 transmission from a domestic cat (which had consumed raw milk, raw meat, or raw pet food) to a human veterinary professional.
