Can feline pneumonia be transmitted to other cats?

Feline pneumonia can be transmitted to other cats. Feline pneumonia includes acute pneumonia and chronic pneumonia. There are many causes of pneumonia and various complications, so there is a certain risk of infection. If a cat gets pneumonia, it should be checked and treated by the hospital promptly. If there are multiple cats at home, they should be kept separately and disinfected frequently to prevent other healthy cats from being infected.
