Answer 2

Yes,it's treatable.Did the vet give you antibiotics for her,because if he thinks it's pneumonia,then that's what she needs.Also,to help her breathe easier,run hot water in your bathroom and take her in there,or rig up a steam box.Get a cat carrier,put a towel in it for her to lay on,then drape a towel over the carrier.Sit a warm steam vaporizer next to the carrier and direct the steam towards the carrier ( not too close,you don't want to scald the cat) This should help her breathe easier.Also,give her warm chicken and beef broth to drink.But make sure to get the antibiotics.Lysine is good,too.A gel called "Viralys" is especially good for cats with Upper Respiratory Infections or viruses.
