Let’s do a quick reality check. The odds of catching flu from your cat are roughly the same as getting struck by lightning while winning the lottery. In fact, you’re far more likely to catch the flu from the barista who hands you your latte. (And let’s be real, that barista is also a mammal, but a much less furry one.)
Bottom line: Your cat is not a biological weapon. It’s a tiny, furry comedian that occasionally hacks up a hairball on your rug. So stop Googling “cat flu zombie symptoms” and go cuddle your little virus-free champion. And if they sneeze on you? Just call it a love tap. You’re fine. I promise.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go wipe down my keyboard. My cat just looked at me funny, and I’m pretty sure he’s plotting something. But it’s not influenza.
