The H5N1 (bird flu) virus is going around, and cats are proving especially susceptible to it. A big cat sanctuary in Washington state had TWENTY of their big cats (cougars, tigers, etc) die of bird flu.

There have also been cases of indoor-only domestic cats getting sick or even dying of bird flu after contracting it from raw cat food. And of course coming into contact with birds also puts your cat at risk.

To keep your cat safe:

Keep them away from birds, preferably keeping them entirely inside. If they are indoor-outdoor then remove any bird feeders from your yard to make cat-bird contact less likely.

Do NOT feed them raw food of any sort, including freeze-dried raw food. Freezing will not kill the virus!

A lot of raw pet food companies are using PR speak to assure customers that their raw food is safe. Remember that at the end of the day their priority is to make money and stay in business. Unless they are testing every bird carcass for the virus their assurances are meaningless, and they certainly are not testing every bird because it would be too expensive.

Cooking kills most viruses and bacteria, including H5N1.

Kaye James was something of an afterthought from the moment they were born, on a snowy morning in 1959. The James family definitely had enough to handle by the time Kaye came along, having just relocated from Chicago to Rockford, Illinois. Their parents balanced work, community, and family in an elaborate juggling act—the general atmosphere of their home was warm, if a little hectic. 

With two older siblings whose ambitions focused on sports and academics, and a younger one who mostly seemed determined to be the loudest person in every room, they often felt overlooked. Even if there had been early indications of their supernatural origins, in all likelihood they would’ve needed to sprout wings at the dinner table before anyone would pick up on how different they truly were. 

In a way it gave them space to experiment, testing personalities the way only an unobtrusive middle child could. Kaye slipped between boundaries of identity here and there with ease. She would be playing catch in the park with her big brother’s friends one day, and singing in the back row with her parents’ church choir the next, never drawing too much attention, simply floating along without disturbing the waters with more than a ripple of her presence. While some would find it lonely, Kaye was introverted enough that her solitude and secrecy felt more like a protection than a punishment.

She began to take notice of how presentation affected the way people interacted with them, and an interest in clothing and fashion germinated slowly, along with a natural talent for design and a solidifying of the knowledge that they lay somewhere outside a binary form of gender, though they didn’t have a perfect word for such at the time. Clothing and makeup was something she could use—she could express herself without saying a word, if she chose, letting their style fill in the blanks of who they were. Fashion and art was where they flourished, spending hours pouring over catalogues and then trying their own skills with a rickety old sewing machine they got off a neighbour. Soon, people began to take notice, and word spread around—if that old coat that doesn’t fit quite right? New dress needed adjusting? Take it to the James kid—no, the other James kid, the quiet one. 

As they got older, Kaye began to suspect that their innate ability to sense the emotions of others, to copy a complicated stitch after only seeing it once, was something a little more than ordinary. But they’d been accustomed to holding secrets close to their chest by then. With the discovery of their wings and actual invisibility, it became easier than ever to stay out of the way, and curiosity about the world beyond Rockford began to tempt them to take greater risks. This culminated when Kaye was 19, and hopped a train to New York, to see what she could see of Fashion Press Week in the city—and maybe even stick around if the lights and noise of the Big Apple really were as entrancing as everyone claimed. They used their invisibility to sneak into show after show, swept up in the glamour of it all, but lacking practice they accidentally became visible on their way out of a venue. A hand fell on their shoulder and panic set in as someone turned them around, calling them by a name they didn’t know. 

The stranger swiftly apologized for the error, but after asking a few pointed questions about things they couldn’t possibly know, took Kaye to chat at a nearby diner. Over hushed tones in the back booth the stranger explained that they were both fae—a hidden species capable of being reborn if they were in mortal danger. If they were right about the uncanny resemblance, then Kaye had previously been a singer, right here in New York—Odette “Odie” Montgomery, a rising star on the scene until one rainy night after her set, she vanished, presumed dead. 

The fae pointed Kaye in the direction of Odie’s old band members, the musicians who used to play together but had since retired. Several of them were supernatural themselves, and one confirmed what they’d all suspected—Odie’s death had come at the hands of hunters. 

It was with their blessings, aid, and encouragement, that Kaye decided to try and pass themself off as Odie’s long lost child. After all, the band assured them, it’s what Odie would’ve wanted, and that stuff was theirs already, technically. They helped Kaye fix up false adoption papers, naming the James as their adopted family. As surreal as it was to realize that they weren’t human, it did answer a lot of unasked questions. Kaye took the opportunity for a little reinvention along the way. It was far from a perfect illusion, but a little magic here and there to smooth over questions, and the lie was good enough to hold, at least by 1980s standards. Kaye James went from being another face in the crowd to the mysterious heir of a tragically short-lived songbird. Although most of Odie’s possessions had been held onto by the remaining members of the band, the label, or sold to various private collectors and fans, at least the royalties were redirected. Suddenly, Kaye had the means to follow whatever dream they wanted, a gift from a past life.

But along with this windfall, came nightmares of their previous incarnation’s violent death. Kaye’s fears wore at her, and her affection for the bustling city life waned. Every alleyway felt like it held the potential for hidden assailants, waiting just out of sight. They were desperate and mostly sleepless when their old bandmates advised them to check out Lunar Cove, Rhode Island.

Here, they began to feel like they could breathe again. The little coastal town was going to be a place where Kaye could gather their thoughts and decide how best to go about living as fae, in light of their previous incarnation’s apparent recognizability. They joined the Court, and feeling some measure of protection here, turned back to their designs. Money was no longer the worry it had been, so they opened a shop in Celestial Hills, turning the lower floors into a storefront, and the ones above it into their very own atelier and living quarters. Kaye found that their new gift for casting illusions actually made for the perfect design canvas. Blush Boutique became their pride and joy—it wasn’t their own House, far from it, but it was something all their own, and they had centuries to nurture and build their vision. 

By 1992, they were very nearly content. Sure, leaving behind the outside world was a tough sell, and they still didn’t know how to feel about their family back in Rockford. But what they had gained—the safety, the community, the truth of their existence—it felt worth it. They’d never felt such a sense of belonging before, not anywhere.

And it should’ve been good. Lunar Cove was safe—they even learned how to lend luck out to those who needed it, and bad luck in a place like this barely felt like much of a risk. When a friend asked, Kaye lent more than enough luck to help shake off the blues. If they hadn’t been so generous, maybe things would’ve been different. 

There shouldn’t have been hunters in Lunar Cove. Kaye should’ve seen them, should’ve vanished, should have had enough time to regenerate another time. All of this should’ve been true, but instead they were murdered by hunters, for the second time. 

Or so they’d thought. Maybe fate took pity. Maybe luck was just slow to balance out, and realized it had taken too much from them. The next thing Kaye knew, it was nighttime, and someone was reaching for them. Without thinking, Kaye shoved him backwards, watched him trip and fall down a flight of steps to land, motionless, at the bottom. They weren’t aware that the man they’d just killed wasn’t a hunter, or that any time had passed since they were the one being attacked. 

Trembling and shocked, they found their way to the boutique, only to find the door locked, and when they broke a window to get in, nothing was where it should’ve been. Everything felt wrong, familiar but strange. The atelier was full of things they didn’t recognize, none of their possessions or designs were in the shop. Disoriented and barely coherent, they were found there the next morning and taken to the Faerie Ring.

It was now the year 2022, and it seemed like in an instant everything had changed. With thirty years missing from their life, they woke up to a world entirely different from the one they were born into. Technology moved in leaps and bounds, along with fashion and everything else. Their human parents had passed away, their siblings had migrated, scattered around the country and built families of their own. It’s said that a fae will lose their powers if they’re heartbroken, but their abilities seemed to be the only thing left intact. That, and the Boutique, which after the confusion was resolved, fell back under Kaye’s ownership without much arguing. 

It took time to adjust to their new existence, and that was only complicated when it became clear they’d been resurrected by the Catalyst, who intended to coerce the pixie into helping disrupt the town. Kaye held their ground though, unwilling to betray the Court and the town that they thought of as home. They turned instead to the Council, revealing the Catalyst’s attempts to communicate with them psychically. 

Despite their display of conviction in front of the Council, Kaye was aware their life was tied to the Catalyst. The Resurrection bond meant that if Lorelai Cavenaugh was killed, Kaye would die too. So when the dark witch Silas Chamberlain entered their shop and offered to break the bond in return for a favor to be fulfilled at a later date, Kaye accepted with very little hesitation. The deal released them from the Catalyst’s hold. But as a result, their life had to be sustained another way—they must absorb the emotions from another person at least once a month, or they’ll die. With no ability to regenerate, they will be gone from this earth, permanently. 

Most days since then, Kaye keeps to themselves, focusing wholly on their work in the atelier, keeping up with ever-changing trends and the evolution of the fashion world. It’s a source of great joy and pride for them that whenever there’s an event, many locals come to Blush, where Kaye does swift alterations or even offers bespoke designs of her own. When they venture out of the shelter of the boutique, they still struggle with their anxiety and the temptation to remain hidden away behind a veil of invisibility. But now freed from the Catalyst’s ticking clock, Kaye’s slowly growing used to the realization that as long as they keep their wits about them, they’ve still got plenty of time.
