How risky is it to house an otherwise healthy cat infected with FIP with non-infected cats a friend is coming to stay with a 10-year old cat with benign FIP - will this jeopardize my two healthy cats?
Healthy? If it has FIP it is going to die within a few weeks. If it is carrying the virus that mutates into FIP, no big deal, most cats have already had the virus. While the virus is contageous, if the other cat has been in a house with five or fewer cats for at least three months, the virus is gone. It is not generally recommended that they be comingled. Certainly, though, it's fine to have the FIP cat in one room or one section of the house, and your non-infected cats in another section. This website has some good Q and A about FIP: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/fip.html Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_infectious_peritonitis
