Is it a virus?

How contagious is it? Is one drink from the same
water bowl likely to be enough to catch it?

Is a cat that catches it likely to die within two months,
while the carrier lives on?

Thanks for any answers.

Not to be rude but, Google it, there are some good explanations then some
may have comments that will help you.

So which is it? Am I supposed to believe the internet, or not?
Last time you said no. This time Granby says yes. Why not
just answer my questions, if you can?

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shot to the heart. I am so wounded by the grammer
nazi. Help I am dying here!! Calvin tried to make a funny but doesn't
realize that some one that makes grammer comments still wets the bed.

You want Phil to send you a crayon poster with the information that is a
simple Google look up that has actual up to date reliable sources AND NOT
BLOGS.

Here I will save him and us the headache. If you don't understand these 3
TOP sources. PAY A VET

No, it was only one thread that I said I would not post to again.
Are you telling me that I should never post to this NG again?
I started posting here years ago, long before I had the
misfortune to meet you and 'cyberca't. Why don't you and
'cybercat' just leave me alone? When I post something, or
ask a question here, just ignore me, and let others respond
if they want to. This is not a moderated group, and you have
no right to try to ban me from it. Since you don't like me,
just ignore me and leave me alone. Maybe I will learn
something here that will help my cats. Maybe I can contribute
something here based on my experiences with many cats over
the past eleven years. Why are you trying to inhibit this?
What have I done to you that is so bad? Tell me and maybe I
will apologize.

I don't know, I kfed him ages ago. I was laughing at your pointing out the
irony of him asking an easily Googled question.
