A cat in Iowa has been diagnosed with H1N1. Doctors believe the animal got it from its owners.

Now veterinarians are warning other cat owners. They say if we're sick, we should limit our contact with our animals. We should also segregate sick animals from healthy animals.

But when it comes to dogs, doctors say there's little or no risk of them contracting H1N1. They say they do get a flu virus but it's different from the swine flu.
