I have had many cats for almost 50 years. I also believe that FIP is related to a bad diet. I had a few cases of FIP as a teenager. I fed a decent cat food, but I also fed bad table scraps and I did do some vaccines. Cats also dealt with fleas because there was not the good produts that there is...

I just wanted to say that the mother cat I spoke about above just had no idea what she was supposed to do with them. She just kept stashing them then lounging in the floor like they did not exist.

Some mother cats don't know what to do and some are crazy. Most of the time it is best to let the mom pick where to keep her kittens or you risk upsetting her and things go down the crapper. You have to find out what works for the mother cat. I had one that had no idea what to do. She had hers...

We do know cats are carnivores and table scraps are not good for them. Surely if we don't feed them right then they are going to have problems as it is not good for their digestive tract and they are not getting the protein they need. When I was thirteen I got a kitten and at the time I only had...

I am aware of all your information. There was no reason why a cat of seven months old would show all of the symptoms in a household that had prior cases. Perhaps he was injured but he was indoors only. No signs of liver disease. No I can't be certain it was FIP. Back then it was routine that fiP...

I too have come to believe that FIP is diet related. I do think vaccines can harm the immune system but I also think that corona virus could be partially at fault as well. However, when I was a teenager I had several kittens and three or four came down with Fip. Back then I didn't know better...
