Nice to meed everybody, I'm a 21 years old student in Asian. I have raise cats as pets for about 10 years

Recently, two kittens died with the same symptoms (refuse to eat, white gum and nose, no grooming, vomiting,..), even I brought the second one to my house 2 weeks after the first one died. I thought that may be the virus or bacteria which cause my first kitten died still in my house. So I post this thread to ask anyone who has experience about this situation. And I want to ask how to sterilize my house after a cat die?

Thanks for your advice.

Sorry that happened to you.  Did you happen to get the cats from the same place?

If they died from Panleukopenia (cat parvo) then you really can't. It lives a long time in every little crack and takes a good 18 months to finally be gone.

The only cats who should be allowed to come to your house are fully vaccinated cats, a minimum of 2 consecutive vaccines.

Otherwise this will continue on and on.

No, I got it from 2 different friends, and they live very far away.

Oh my god, 18 months without cats? I do not want to deal with the mice by only myself.
10-1 bleach water is the cheapest and easiest. Ten parts water, one part bleach.
Thanks to your advice, i will try it.

Bleach will not work if it is cat parvo, as @catwoman707  said and your cats will continue to get sick and die.  I would not risk it.  Did you ever see a vet?

Is there any way that the mice were poisoned?

You can have cats there but they must be vaccinated before going to your house or they will die too.
