A Report from the Cornell Feline Health Center offers two safeguards for clients concerned with the "Bird Flu."
1. Do not feed uncooked poultry to cats. 2. Keep cats indoors to prevent them from eating infected birds as well as to prevent cat-to-cat traansmission.

3. If you see any birds approach within 100 meters of your cat, break out your flamethrower and incinerate them. It's the only way to be sure.
4. Hermetically seal your house, and equip it with a class 10 clean room quality air supply.
5. Move to the Moon, where there are no birds. This may be a tad expensive, but face it, your cat is worth it.

From: Daaneth Kivioq 3. If you see any birds approach within 100 meters of your cat, break out your flamethrower and incinerate them. It's the only way to be sure. I read that sadly in England and Europe, people are dropping cats off at animal shelters in record numbers over fear of avian flu.  The incineration comment is a little too close for comfort. -Ghoti

I have a solution to the problem.
Indoor cat. My cat has never been outside, unless you count our screened porch out back and trips to the vet (in a cat carrier). She can't kill birds, they can't infect her with potentially deadly diseases.
Everyone's happy.
