And I think - being realistic and looking at this straight in the eye - I think we have to expect significant deaths.

Their cats were filthy with muck from the flood waters. The water came from the Napa River which has a lot of waste in it, everything from bacteria to sewage.

They had been contaminated by flood water, so we had to put them in isolation.
