Effect Measure: Cats and other carnivores

Effect Measure: Cats and other carnivores points out that, while few humans eat completely raw birds - cats do!

And cats live in close proximity to humans. Cats are also mammals, so their immune system is more similar to humans than birds.

So far, a mammal-to-mammal easily transmissible form of the H5N virus does not seem to have shown up (though bird-to-bird is going full speed).
