Lisa, I am so terribly sorry to read this! It is (usually) true that FIP is fairly rare and affects a small percentage in a cat population, but I have had my share of losses to it here as well! You may remember, I lost my soul kitty, Tucker to that dreaded disease, as well as my beautiful April, and my little Bliss. It's a horrible, horrible, disease and there's nothing any one can do about it!!!! Please don't blame yourself for this, Lisa! If you read up on it (as I have MANY times) you will learn that MOST cats have been exposed to it at one time or another in their life. That is, the Corona Virus that it mutates from. Whether or not it develops in to FIP or not has to do with the cat's own immune system and ability to fight it. It's pretty much just the luck of the draw who gets it or who doesn't.

You are very loved here, and we are all here to try and comfort you as best we can!

Hugs,
Kim
