16. It's affecting younger cats quite a bit.

It used to be primarily something that older cats faced, but veterinarians are seeing it more and more in younger cats, some under one year of age. It is not an infectious disease passed from cat to cat, as you know, of course.

Although some vets believe there is something that transmits because they've all come across genetically unrelated cats in households where several experience the disease.

There is a medicine out of China under scrutiny right now called Mutoral. Some people swear by it as far as helping their cats, but my vet says it's snake oil. Guess time will tell. Would be wonderful if they could find a cure like they have for FIP.
