<<<<<<<First read Calicivirus on the left column here. <<<<<< Secondly there is a Calicivirus Forum here so move your topic and question there.

As to your question here it is->Calicivirus is spread through direct contact with the saliva, eye and nose discharges, and sometimes the feces, of an infected cat.


So if your cat is infected it will also spread to other cats as well. It seems vaccines do minimize it but it does not prevent it.

Good luck See a VET ASAP OK
