Hi there,

Thanks for your question.

Unfortunately it is near impossible for me to answer this question since you haven’t mentioned the name of the virus or diagnosis that your cat contracted or had. I will say that viruses are often contagious and your other cats may very well have contracted the infection but have yet to show symptoms.

As a preventive measure, I would recommend you have them tested for the same virus your cat succumbed to and make sure they haven’t contracted it. Depending on the virus, there is a possibility that it could still be present in the environment so once it is confirmed, I would recommend you have your veterinarian advise you on how to treat the home to reduce the risk of infection.

I hope this helps.
