I'm so sorry for your loss of Kiwi.
Bless you for giving him the love and care he needed in his short stay here.
He is at the bridge romping with others that are there.

If Kiwi hasn't eaten or had much to drink for awhile it will

It can be from something as simple as parasites and as serious as intestinal

You will get lots of advice here. How old is your other cat? Odds are that if
your other cat didn't contract felv from kiwi from the time they were together
he won't ever contract it. There is always a small risk. But I have mixed at

about it but do not let it ruin the time you have with your friend.
That time may be long
