Mango and Chili are both indoor only cats. You might think it’s because we live in a flat without a garden or because our neighborhood isn’t safe or maybe because they are blind. That’s all true. But the main reason they are not allowed outdoors is the coronavirus we all hide from nowadays.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that usually cause respiratory infections. But the feline coronavirus (which won’t affect humans), can cause a fatal disease named Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) in cats. There is no vaccine and there was no treatment either 5 years ago when we adopted our cats, and this is why we decided not to expose them to this. If you have cats you might consider doing some research and limiting your cat’s access too. Stay home, #staysafe and please try to keep your pets safe too.
