they were all well ,
it doesn't make the best headlines
cats catch bird flu feels fine and tucks into bowl of whiskers ,it striks me as the best news that we could have about this bloody virus because it might mean the virial load you need to catch this desease has to be high ,sorry carn't find the links to back it up but it's the best news i've had about this thing in a long time
