Here you are again misleading people.

So had the scientist not infected the cats and then let them in a cage with uninfected cats would the cats have gotten the disease?

You are wrong again.

Influenza A virus (A/cat/Thailand/KU-02/04(H5N1))

Also, "...domestic cats, captive tigers, and leopards also died from H5N1 viruses... In October 2004, the infection of H5N1 viruses was confirmed in captive tigers at Sriracha tiger zoo in Chonburi Province, eastern Thailand. A total of 147 of 441 tigers kept in the zoo died or were euthanized..." ( Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1, Thailand, 2004 )

Why are you continuing to spew your misinformation? What is your vested interest?
