Jennifer Viegas kirjutab Discovery Channeli veebilehel, et kui veel vaid mõne aja eest eksperdid sisuliselt välistasid võimaluse, et inimene võib H1N1 gripi oma koduloomadele edasi anda, siis nüüd on see küsimus uute tõendite valguses ümbervaatamisel."We're seeing reverse zoonosis, with the virus jumping from people to animals," Alfonso Torres told Discovery News, explaining that several ferrets have also been infected, resulting in at least one pet ferret death in Nebraska. "In theory, cats could infect humans, but there is no evidence for that yet," added Torres, former chief veterinary officer of the United States who is now associate dean for public policy at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Torres was "not entirely surprised" by the diagnosis in a cat. He said that until four years ago, no evidence supported that felines could catch viruses from other species.
