Don't infect your cat!

This says it might be possible to pass some flu to cat:

So when having a flu, one should wear a mask and avoid petting etc?

Thanks for the info.  Is that why you think maybe your little one was acting so strange and didn't want  to go outside, etc.?

No, more of I suspect someone kicking him or maybe he got scared by a car, or bear or lynx, but there are sometimes sick people even in here middle of nowhere, that are not very friendly to animals. Also poison came to my mind, because such sudden change.

But this article got me bit worried as I had some kind of influenza and I'm still having bits of it after about two weeks, so maybe I should do some precautions especially at future to minimize risks, especially because I have no realistic means to get them to vet or pay vet at the moment so I think I should play for even more safe way.

You'll probably be fine just being diligent about handwashing.  Most people do not wash their hands correctly or long enough.
