House Cat Flu was a deadly disease deliberately released by television executives.
History
Concerned about declining revenues, a group of television executives had a meeting to figure out how to make people watch more TV. They came up with the idea of having an epidemic, so people would be forced to watch their TVs in order to get important information. The particular epidemic they decided on was House Cat Flu.
The flu bug was first tested on the NBC representative, and it proved to be effective as he died a horrible, painful death. The news of the House Cat Flu was then announced on TV. People became frightened of their cats, and some even took extreme measures such as burning every item their cats had touched. Later, a vaccine was announced, and people stood in long lines in order to get it. Apparently as a means of keeping the panic going (and making people keep watching TV for information), the vaccine was rationed to one child per family.
It is unknown how the House Cat Flu epidemic was resolved, or whether the general public found out what caused it.
