I really don't think FIP is contagious, nor do the people who have studied this disease closely for decades -- Dr. Addie, Nils Pedersen. Corona virus is contagious but before corona virus can trigger FIP a cat has to be genetically predisposed to develop FIP. Most cats are not. I really think

If Olive's necropsy showed FIP, then maybe they really all do have FIP. It has not made sense to me, given that FIP experts say it is a mutation, not a virus in itself. But maybe particular corona viruses are more likely to mutate or something, and maybe that is the one going around that
