Hi! I have 3 cats that visit your facility and we absolutely love your clinic. Our 3 cats are our entire world and we have recently installed screening underneath our deck area so they can safely sit outside with us on the patio without getting out. Think of essentially a giant catio, lol. They are indoor kitties but enjoy sitting by the screen door so we know they would like the fresh air. Anyway, I feed songbirds all year round and I started to get a little spooked with the bird flu and my cats having the potential to actually be “outdoors” even if it’s in a patio area there is a very busy bird feeder in the same yard about a school bus lengths away and wasn’t sure if it’s recommended to take it down or if the risk of my cats getting it is very unlikely? I just wanted an expert opinion. Thanks!! (I’m in Harford county Md if that helps)

Hello,

Thank you for the very kind words. I understand your concerns but I think it is very unlikely that your cats are at risk.
While transmission of disease is possible between species it is very rare.
I hope your cats enjoy their new patio space.

Take care
