Expert Answer

Cat flu (feline rhinotracheitis) can be cured, and not every cat with it dies. Based on fatal cases, from onset to death is generally 7–14 days. Cat flu is most harmful to unweaned kittens, whose death rate can reach 60%.

Most adult cats do not die from it and usually recover with active treatment.
