Feline viral rhinotracheitis, or cat flu, is a highly contagious upper-respiratory infection; over 90% of cats carry the virus and show signs only when stress drops their immunity.

Prevention is vaccination and rodent control; treatment is antibiotics plus supportive care, avoiding streptomycin when kidneys are involved.
