ILLNESSES

Whitecough - The least serious of all the coughs, it is the easiest to cure. But you had better be quick before it turns into Greencough.

Greencough - More serious than Whitecough! Cats can die from it, if not treated for it. If it isn't cured, it will move on to the deadly Blackcough.

Blackcough - Deathly, not a good sign. It spreads quickly, killing off many cats, until it can be cured. Rare is it that it is caught early enough to be stopped. A cat cannot survive this measure of sickness.
