Default H1N1 in animals

I guess its not surprising since it came from pigs, but there was a documented case of a cat with it and I heard some pet ferrets got it too (not sure if that is documented.)

I guess I wonder how likely transmission from pets to humans is? I am guessing it is rare but still. Yikes.
