Hobbes?

One of the perqs of living overseas is getting junk mail from the U.S. Embassy. We just got an e-mail concerning the threat of bird flu, aka H5N1. There was one line that caught my eye:
There have been reports of H5N1 infection in domestic cats, pigs, tigers, leopards, ferrets, and stone martens.
Boy, am I glad I don't have a domestic tiger. I'd hate to catch the bird flu...
