Cats can get swine flu, Yankees wins mean stock losses

Good day for pet insurance, Bad day for Yankees fans on Wall Street

Thursday, November 5, 2009

GOOD DAY FOR: Pet insurance, after Iowa health officials confirmed the first case of H1N1 swine flu in a domestic pet, in this case an elderly cat whose owners apparently spread the virus to their feline pet. The cat recovered, unlike two ferrets in different states who died of the H1N1 virus. Health experts said it is too soon to know if the cat infection was a fluke or a harbinger of things to come.

BAD DAY FOR: Yankees fans on Wall Street, as the Bronx Bombers’ 27th World Series win should presage a dour stock market in November and December, according to a Bloomberg historical analysis. The best-case scenario for Wall Street, historically, is if the Yankees make it to the World Series and lose. The biggest losers last night, of course, would be Boston Red Sox investors.

I am thinking about getting the flu shot for my pet and myself this year probably should do is asap so I can avoid any medical bills. However, I just singed my dog up with pet insurance with trupanion earlier this year , so that'll definitely help if anythnig were to happen and lessen mybills. Worth checking them out trupanionpetinsurance.com . this flu stuff is getting out of control!
