Fat-to-feline transmission is caused by mutations of the coronavirus. Most cats will carry coronavirus. When cats are suddenly frightened, change food, change seasons, etc. and have a stress response, the coronavirus can easily mutate and cause cat-to-cat transmission. Therefore, it is recommended that owners try to keep cats in a quiet and comfortable environment when raising cats, and avoid causing stress reactions in cats, thereby reducing the occurrence of abdominal transmission.

Usually, feline transmission is easily induced in the following situations:

1. Feline transmission is easily induced after the cat is exposed to stress.

When the cat is exposed to stress, , if there is coronavirus in cats, it may cause the coronavirus to mutate, which may lead to feline infectious peritonitis.

2. The larger the number of cats in the group, the easier it is to induce feline transmission

Feline transmission is mainly transmitted through contact with cats carrying the virus or the feces of sick cats. It often occurs in enclosed spaces, such as catteries, pet shelters, multi-cat households, etc.

Therefore, in order to prevent cats from getting infected, it is recommended to vaccinate cats regularly, and at the same time, it is necessary to reduce the chance of contact with other cats or cat excrement.

3. Cats with low immunity are prone to feline transmission

When the cat’s immunity is normal, the virus will generally not affect the cat, and the cat will not show any symptoms. However, when a cat’s immunity decreases due to some diseases or stress, the virus may genetically mutate into infectious peritonitis virus, causing the cat to lose weight, lose appetite, increase body temperature, expand the abdomen with fluid accumulation, jaundice, Symptoms of kidney failure.

Usually, the detection rate of coronavirus in stray cats, cats that often go out and cats kept in groups is very high, which can be as high as 80%.
