A California man says his two cats died and a third was hospitalized after he fed them raw milk recalled for bird flu risk. Joseph Journell, of San Bernardino, says his tabby cat, Alexander, and a tuxedo cat, Tuxsie, died in November. He says the animals drank milk recalled from Raw Farm, of Fresno, California. A third cat, Big Boy, survived after being being infected with the H5N1 bird flu virus. Nearly a dozen cats in California have died after consuming raw milk or raw pet food contaminated with bird flu. Health officials warn pet owners not to feed their animals raw food or unpasteurized milk.
