Dear Hideyo: My heart is heavy for you! I am so sorry that you have been going though this! It is a very difficult and stressful time for you. I know what you are going though. I lost 13 babies within a four month period. Some were personal cats and some were foster cats that I raised since baby kittens. It is quite a numbing experience! I was never so glad when 45 days past from the last FIP cat was diagnosed. Then I felt I did not have to hold my breath anymore. Just take one day at a time!
