Although FNI is rare, the mortality associated with the disease is high. Purebred cats are more commonly affected than domestic shorthair cats. Similarly to affected foals, kittens are born and nurse normally and clinical signs develop within a few hours or days. Signs may be variable and kittens are occasionally found dead within a few hours of the onset of clinical signs. Clinical signs may include failure to thrive, weakness, dark red/brown urine, icterus, and [[Anaemia - Introduction|anaemia]]. Affected kittens may separate themselves from the rest of the litter, stop nursing and appear weak. Signs may vary in severity within a single litter; this is thought to be related to differences in colostral intake. Other features of the disease may include necrosis and sloughing of the tail tip and [[DIC|disseminated intravascular coagulation]]. Affected kittens rarely survive the first week of life.
