In case you are being serious, and didn’t read the article. Cats were not made to drink infected milk. They were found infected with H5N1 on a farm after drinking raw milk from cows.

Why oh why can’t you people ever be bothered to read the article you’re commenting on?

These were farm cats living with the cows to catch mice that eat cow food.

Most cats don’t digest cow milk well, but it’s common for cats on dairy farms to consume some milk, so maybe they self-select for lactose tolerance.

Anyway, they got sick and the farmer’s vets tried to help them. It wasn’t an experiment.

That’s not what happened? Also why is a cat pure but not a cow? Hell, if we applied human morals to other animals, cows are probably much better on average.
