Can cats catch Avian Flu other contract other diseases from eating bird droppings?
skatskat asked:
We have an atrium in our home that is open to the sky. Birds perch on the roof and sometimes their droppings fall into our tiled atrium. Our cats are indoor cats but are allowed to go into the atrium because it is completely enclosed and safe from the outdoor hazards of coyotes, cars, etc. But I’ve noticed that one of the kitties seems to be eating something on the floor of the atrium and I suspect that it can be excrement from the birds. If it is true, it is totally gross and not typical of my fastidious little animals. Any ideas out there?
