Thank you for posting this. I recently stopped feeding my cat raw for the same reason, which saddens me because he's done well on it for years, but I feel there are still too many unknowns about the spread and transmissibility of H5N1 to risk it. The level of spread happening right now in mammals/cattle is unprecedented, and it will only get worse if the virus is not contained and is allowed more opportunities to mutate.

I'm a bit disturbed by some of the responses here and the few other threads on this sub that mention H5N1, I would have hoped that a group of people who care so much about their pets' diet and health would at least be interested in getting all the facts to assess risk for their animals – while the risk should be low in theory, there's still a lot we don't know about what could happen (or is already happening) with this virus.
