How to prevent cat plague?

1. Eliminate the cat plague virus in the environment. You can use 84 disinfectant, Dettol, Velox and other disinfectants to disinfect the living environment, but be careful to take the cat out of the house when disinfecting and wait until the room has no smell before bringing it in. It needs to be scrubbed twice after use. Disinfectants such as Dettol and Velox are hepatotoxic to cats and can only be used to disinfect fabrics (clothes, etc.) to a limited extent and need to be washed again. 2. Get vaccinated. Vaccination is the most effective prevention method, but please note that cats with these conditions are not suitable for vaccination. Pregnant cats should not be vaccinated. Vaccination during pregnancy carries the risk of damaging the fetus, especially the developing cerebellum. Kittens should not be vaccinated. For kittens less than one month old, attenuated vaccines cannot be given. Kittens' cerebellum is still developing rapidly, and vaccination will have effects.
