This is worrisome - not just that our cats can get it, but that it's
continuing to mutate to be able to infect new species.

And now I have to worry about my 13 year old cat getting sick if I do.

Where's my vitamin C?

Great minds think alike. ( I posted this here 40+ minutes ago. )

What you should do is get vaccinated against swine flu and the regular
seasonal flu too if it decreases the chance your family and cats could
catch it. I got my vaccines last week before the word was out about
cats. Glad I did.

Can't get vaccinated - I'm not in a high-risk group and the shortages
around here are pretty severe. I'd rather give "my" shot to someone who
needs it more.

I've never gotten the seasonal flu shot, and have only had seasonal flu
once or twice in my life.

Bit worried about the swine flu shot - the friend of a coworker had
unexpected neurological issues from the swine flu shot - she's currently
having problems walking and talking... that's only one shot in millions
but still makes me nervous. We don't know if it was the shot or nasal.
