People pigs birds ferrets and now cats (per AVMA): http://www.avma.org/public_health/influenza/new_virus/ http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE5A33ZG20091104 so watch for cross-infection The more wetly and powerfully any creature can sneeze or cough, the more chance of that species spreading it (so humans are the big vector in most homes) Dogs and horses get other strains but so far have not been found with H1N1, though the possibility might exist to some extent.
