Following last week's case in Oregon where vets confirmed the first H1N1 transmission between a human and a pet ferret, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has confirmed that a 13-year-old, indoor-only cat in Iowa in fact has swine flu.
While it's uncommon for flu viruses (like the H3N8 for dogs) to jump between species, doctors at Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine performed two sets of tests to find the feline was in fact infected. According to her owners, they had been sick with flu-like symptoms before noticing the cat was ill and, until recently, there was no reason to think cats could catch the 2009 swine flu.

Jake Gyllenhaal was looking hot in his t-shirt and shades running an errand in LA on Monday. A little time at Coachella with Reese seems to have done him good. Looks like most of you are loving Jakey G these days, too — he's currently beating Gwyneth Paltrow in his round two Pop 100 matchup.

Reese Witherspoon and Ava held hands and spruced up their outfits with fun footwear as they crossed the street in LA on Wednesday. Yesterday Reese was spotted solo as she hit the pavement for a jog. While Ryan is away possibly visiting Abbie's family, Reese has Ava and Deacon all to herself and hopefully activities like ice skating and dressing up her Oscar are getting the family into the holiday spirit.

Lindsay Lohan left her lipstick choices at home as she stepped out with Samantha Ronson yesterday in LA. This week LL once again assured everyone she and Samantha are dong fine and the recent rumor that LL was nuzzling with Sean Penn sounds innocent in the end — they were apparently talking about a possible movie project. Lately Lindsay's been focused more on her successful leggings line than her acting, so teaming up with such an acclaimed actor could certainly help get her another hit.

Heidi Klum and her mini-entourage of Leni, Johan, and Henry were spotted out and about in LA yesterday. Although this family never needs a reason to play dress-up, the kids have just a few more days before joining the other celebrity kids in costume. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait much longer than that to see Heidi back on Project Runway.
