    My 8 month old kitten (Cali)who I’ve only had for 3 months was not acting herself over the past week. We took her to the vet because she had a persistent diarrhea, but more recently she wasn’t eating as much and wasn’t her happy energetic self. She would just sleep way more ham usual.

    After test at the vet our vet strongly believes Cali has FIP. A horrible thing for a cat as there is no cure and is a death sentence of weeks to months to live.

    I’m so heartbroken, I can’t stop crying uncontrollably, and I don’t know what to do. I’m at a loss for words. I had no idea his thing even existed (fip). I love Cali so much and grieve at the thought of losing her.

    I have 3 other cats who are older than her, and lost another cat 2 years ago but this one is killing me. I can’t eat or focus at work and just cry all day.

    I’m hoping writing my feeling will help me and allow me to be the best cat mom to Cali in her final days.

    More ham anything I pray that she stays with me , but if not I pray I can handle this loss. No one else understand my grief, and tell me that I can get another kitten. I was to grab them by the hair when hey say that, there so replacing Cali.

    It is horrible Kia and I’m so sorry for you and Cali. We understand loss and heartbreak and anger. Screw them for saying you can replace her because you can’t so I hope you and Cali have a billion more memories together.

    Kla, I am so sorry for this awful diagnosis. We understand your devastation and sadness. No other kitten will ever replace Calli. If these are to be her last days, they will be filled with love and comfort, good food, play and her momma who loves her. Many kittens and cats have lived and died never knowing any of these. Please take comfort knowing we understand, and are wrapping you in love.

    Kla, I am so very sorry for what you and Cali are going through. Of course no kitty can ever replace another. You take care.

    That is horrible. Cats are as individual as humans are, and one cat cannot replace another. My little Livia is a love, but I still miss Renzo. I knew about FIV (cat AIDS) but had never heard of FIP, had to look it up.
