Pulmonary fibrosis in cats

Is it possible for cats to develop idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis? X-rays of my cats show scaring in lower lung cavity. They were exposed to years of toxic air pollution in northern Thailand where AQI is between 200-300 for part of the year. I was diagnosed with IPF myself.
