Mine only lived 6 years and then it all went downhill despite the antibiotic treatment and such.sorry for your loss we get quite a few FIV cats in and we rehome them as house cats, its actually not as bad a illness as you think once you know how to adapt and they live very long normal lives, unless your refering to FIP, now thats a cruel virusFIV is one cruel virus and it got him a bad pneumonia and he died.
FIV, the one that causes cat AIDS. That's what I was ref to. Ever since Mitzury was a kitten, he was prone to digestive problems, catching colds fast and even getting to the brink of death if it weren't for the vet to save him on time when he was just 4 years old.
