I am very sad to report that I lost an adorable "ring tail" siamese Blue Point kitten to FIP after a three-month struggle to keep him going. Jack had been purchased from a breeder (something like K Ranch) outside of Green Bay -- and I should have known better. The conditions in the home were not clean and all the kittens had signs of "cat flu" or URI but I was in love. He lived eight-months and I adored him. He would hold his tail in a circle up over his back and was a real love sponge. I am worried that my adult boys have been exposed to this horrible virus and may now be able to pass it on to any other kittens that I bring home. If I can save anyone from purchasing a kitten from these disreputable people and keep you from this kind of hopeless grief, I will be a little less bereft. Please be careful. There is no cure and no reliable vaccine for this illness yet.
