My lovely cat has possibly FIP. We are devastated. It's the little accidental kitten from last year.

I'm in tears. They are running test but there is a strong suspicion of Fip.

Bella the fella?

Yes Bella the fella. He is at the vet.

Oh no. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Poor you and poor Bella. (Can't remember what you renamed him)

Billy Bob...right now I wish I could one of these people who keeps their emotion in check. I'm a mess.

That picture of him as a tiny kitten sitting on your head is my favourite cat picture ever!

Thank you for reminding me 😘

Oh he's lovely. What's FIP?

It's an illness I have never heard about before that can't be cured.

Oh no. I hope it's not, it was lovely to read your recent update on how he'd grown up.

I'm so sorry to hear that. He's a beautiful little boy.

There is a strong suspicion unfortunately. I haven't stop crying

Poor you. One of mine was really poorly in February. I was a wreck as well. It's horrible. But I did find it a massive comfort that she knew she was loved had had a good life with me. Some how she pulled through though. Paws crossed.

Im thinking of you all x

Any news?

Keeping everything crossed for you. He looks like such a lovely boy.

Hi everyone.

Billy is still at the vet. I had an update this morning : he is nice and bright and the temp is normal. Yesterday he had a scan and they saw he had enlarged lymph nodes. He has been tested for lymphoma and we should hear the results today. We will hear the results for the Fip on Thursday or Friday. The vet is giving me absolutely no hopes as the blood test completely point at Fip, the dry one.

You must be heartbroken. If its the dry one its better isnt it? He may be well for abit longer. What a cruel trick xxx

I'm heartbroken, it's the last straw after a long serie of sad things happening to our family.

Thinking of you and hoping against hope for positive news tomorrow

Grief is the price we pay for love.

Oh, my heart sunk when I read the poorly cat was Billy. I can completely understand why you are in bits, Soup. Have you had the definite results yet?

I hope not. I lost a cat to FIP. Hoping the vet is wrong

Any news, Soup?

We had to let him go this morning, we are heartbroken. He was not himself, burning up with fever. He had to take a lot of pills which it was impossible to give to him. He was supposed to have injection and temperature taken every couple of days. He didn't want this anymore, he didn't want to be prodded. It was on of the hardest things to do.

It was Fip.

That's really awful, I'm very sorry for your loss.

It's always a heartbreaking decision but it's the last act of kindness you can show them and you did the right thing.

Doesnt mean you shouldn't cry buckets though
