Kirsten,

Did you have a necropsy done after Aysche died? The reason I ask is FIP is a combination of 7 coronaviruses. And the only way (according to MY vet) to detect FIP is through a necropsy (feline autopsy).

MooShoo (my Sphynx) tested positive for FIP when he was about 6 months old. While it doesn't mean he HAS the disease, it does mean he was exposed to it.

I'm sorry about Aysche. She was a beautiful cat! As far as her eyes are concerned, there IS a condition that causes one pupil to be smaller than the other. Both cats and humans can have it. The reason I know this, is because I went to my eye doctor for an eye exam. She told me that I have the same (I can't remember the name of it, darn it!!) problem. One of my pupils is smaller than the other at times. She said it also is accompanied by a droopy eyelid. I'll try to find out what the name is and post it when I do.

One question...did you get her from a breeder? If so, I'd contact them and let them know about Aysche's condition.

Please, do not beat yourself up over this. Sometimes hindsight can be very annoying. Don't let "what ifs" make you lose sleep. You did the best you could for Aysche and she had a very happy life in the short time she was with you. Let that be a comfort to you.
