A new strain of feline coronavirus, Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) -- which is not transmittable to humans -- is wreaking havoc on the prolific cat population of Cyprus, home to the earliest evidence of the animal's domestication and known by some as the "Island of Cats". Animal advocates say the number of cats dying from disease is 300,000, significantly higher than the 107 cases of FIP officially reported in the southern part of the island by the Ministry of Agriculture.
