How to thoroughly disinfect your home for cat plague

Sorry to hear that your cat has feline distemper. Feline distemper is a highly contagious viral disease and disinfection is very important to prevent the spread of the virus in the home. Here are some tips for thoroughly disinfecting your home:

1. Isolate sick cats: First, isolate cats with feline distemper in a separate room or space to prevent the virus from spreading to other cats through contact with objects.

2. Clean and disinfect: Thoroughly clean and disinfect all surfaces that may have been exposed to the virus, including floors, walls, furniture, utensils, etc. Here are some methods to consider:

   - Use a household cleaner with a disinfecting effect, such as bleach containing chlorine or hydrogen peroxide.

   - During the cleaning process, pay special attention to cleaning, disinfecting and drying items commonly used by cats such as litter boxes, eating utensils and water basins.

   - Manually clean and disinfect items with small leak holes, such as cat climbing frames, cat litter boxes, etc., by wiping them with detergent and ensuring they are thoroughly dry.

   - Use a steam cleaner to steam disinfect your home environment, but make sure you operate the device correctly and follow the instructions.

3. Washing items: It is best to thoroughly clean and disinfect bedding, towels, toys, etc. used by cat plague patients. Use hot water and a washing machine to clean. Using high temperatures can effectively kill viruses.

4. Air circulation: Open windows for ventilation and allow fresh air to circulate, which can help reduce the time viruses stay in the air.

5. Professional help: If you think you are unable to completely disinfect or need professional help, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or professional cleaning service, who may be able to provide more specific guidance and methods.

Keep in mind that the feline distemper virus is very tenacious and thorough disinfection does not guarantee a completely risk-free home. It's also important to pay close attention and follow your veterinarian's recommendations to treat your cat's health and help prevent other cats from becoming infected. Hope your cat recovers soon.
