I have to be hard on myself all furrbabies are so precious and trusting, they depend on us.

Please don't be too hard on yourself. Remember this disease evolved from
nature and infects wild cats of many species. It is a tough one to
accurately test for. It is a very sophisticated virus. No one wants this
illness. I did all the right things when I got Tigger. I had him
immediately tested. He was negative. He was quarantined from my other cats
for 90 days. All cats were housecats. Tigger still died and exposed my
other babies. This is a very tough battle to fight.
