A strange,
fatal hemorrhagic disease is killing housecats in Camarillo, California.
Veterinarian Vera Barnett suspects that the illness originated in the lab of
her lover, molecular biologist Noah Chamberlin, who has been investigating a
hereditary feline disease at a nearby university.
The infection
soon appears in nearby cities and, not long after, all over the world. Senior
epidemiologist Angelo Kraakmo, is assigned to investigate. The cause turns out
to be a new virus. Angelo names the disease feline hemorrhagic fever, FHF for
short. It did not originate in Camarillo.
Newspapers
report FHF mortality figures on their front pages. Rodentborne diseases become
epidemic. Cat-oriented businesses suffer severe economic losses.
Vera, Noah
and Angelo work together to find a cure. By the time eighty percent of the
world’s cats have perished, scientists question whether the species can
survive.
Will Felis
catus become extinct? What are the consequences of the demise of a species that
has lived intimately with humans for twelve thousand years? How will the
disappearance of our feline companions affect the human population?
