| Topic | Getting a third cat, feeling kind of nervous |
| Hexenherz 07/23/20 10:30:25 AM #63: | @Ruvan22 That is really amazing lol, it's nice to hear that the older cat just delivered the kittens instead of eating them/chasing them away. What happened to the kittens? I definitely don't think it's a bad idea to get an older cat, just gonna take a little more attention to keep them on their separate diets and the kitten's gonna need more attention and play time (well, they'll both need a lot of attention). Last night Desi slept on my head which was very unexpected lol. Two nights ago she was very cuddly and rubbing my face with her head but last night she just straight up climbed onto my head and laid down like a furry telephone. I was reading about contagious diseases and got really scared, too. Apparently cats can get a type of feline coronavirus (not SARS-COV-2/COVID-19, a different one) that they can get over within 7-10 days with mild symptoms... but in 5-10% of cats that get it they can develop Feline Infectious Peritonitis which can take weeks, months or even years to manifest and it has a 95% mortality rate :( It's really terrifying. Thankfully this coronavirus is spread from feces and doesn't survive long in open air but still. One site said that 50% of cats in single cat households will get this feline coronavirus in their life which is also crazy to me. There's no FDA approved vaccine and no way to test for FIP just to see if the cat ever had the coronavirus in their life. Really scared the hell out of me tbh. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ ...
