No, feline herpes will not kill Meika but it has the potential to make her quite sick. It is the most common cause of respiratory infections in cats, and it can be treated symptomatically. If she shows signs of a respiratory infection, I would take her into the vet for treatment. Check out this website for more details on the virus: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-herpesvirus-infection-or-feline-viral-rhinotracheitis I hope this helps!
