Upon quick search…seems it’s possible but very rare and produces only mild symptoms in cats. But with Google you can generally find whatever you look for!

Apparently it can mutate into an infectious peritonitis....

When I heard of the first kitten death last week and the cause, I was doubtful since it was coming from "crazy cat lady".... but daughter took her kitten to our local emergency after hours vet - which around here is the UF Vet School.... so I tend to believe it now
