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.

Oh god, didn't see update, will get post deleted - sorry for your loss.

[Papergirl1968]

Oh, Soup, I'm so sorry. He was such a little fighter. I say he but found it hard to think of him as anything other than Bella.
No words of comfort except that you did the right thing. Look after yourself x

[Olinguito]

So sorry to read your update. It's heartbreaking, but you did what was best for him. So sorry for your loss.

[Soupoftheday1975]

He was not him anymore, he was so poorly. I didn't want to keep him a bit longer for our own selfish reason. He was such a little character ! I couldn't open the fridge without him begging for ham ! I need to show you a funny picture of him hang on...

[Soupoftheday1975]

Picture I love

[NoSquirrels]

Gosh, what a handsome fellow he is as. I'm really sorry, OP. You did the right thing for him. Poor you.

[QueenieMum]

Billy was beautiful Soup. You gave him a great life & you didn't want him to suffer. Really sorry you've had to go through this

[acatcalledjohn]

So sorry Soup. I'd lost this thread but it just popped up again, I'm just sad to read it's bad news. As much as you've done the right thing it must feel so awful to have to make that call.

I'm so so sorry. I lost two to FIP. Take care of yourselves and fly free Billy Bob. Not the end to the story any of us would wish for but you did the right thing. And you gave him such a lot of love during his life.

[Soupoftheday1975]

There is massive hole in my heart. I was in pool of tears at the vet when I decided to let him go. He was a real presence for me, we didn't have him long but I have hundred of pictures of him. He was spoilt rotten.

[pterobore]

I'm so sorry he's gone. It sounds like he was an awesome cat in a really loving home

[cornerstoned]

I remember your posts from last year. So sorry. He was adorable.

[Toddlerteaplease]

So sorry, I also can only think of him as Bella. He was so lucky to be found by you. And you have him such a wonderful life, he’d have known nothing but love. In time I hope that comforts you.

[EachandEveryone]

I'm so sorry I'm welling up on the bus. You absolutely did the right thing xx

[timtam23]

You did the kindest thing for Billy Bob but I am so so sorry to read this, after last year's happy & funny thread about him.
What a very handsome chap

[Soupoftheday1975]

Thank you for your loveliness, kindness, compassion it means a lot. He was a special little cat, he really was.

I lost my first cat to FIP. It still upsets me even now (10yrs later).

Thinking of you.

[Soupoftheday1975]

One more 😊

[Soupoftheday1975]

Ted - until last Sunday I had never heard of fip, I didn't know it existed. I have been reading on the subject all week, no cure. It's just so devastating.

[friendlyflicka]

I am so sorry. It is an absolutely heartbreaking illness - so sudden and horrible.

[Orangebird69]

So sorry . Not Fip, but I've lost more than a few kittens (rescues) to panleuk it's just so so awful. Here's to your Bella the Fella and all the others that were just too good for this life

[Want2beme]

A beautiful boy. They mean so much to us. So sorry for your sad loss

[babyinthacorner]

We lost our cat very suddenly a couple of months ago. I'm so sorry to see this. He was so handsome and what a lovely life he had with you x
