The Scoop: First H1N1 Cat Case Confirmed by AVMA
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.

Lindsay's Looking to Fill Up Her Movie Schedule
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.
