Loose stools are really not a sign of a cat going FeLv+. It could be just about
anything - from eating something different to stress to an unrelated "bug" that
you brought in with you from outside. Really Lance, you can't keep a cat in a
sterile bubble. I'm not saying that a bite from a positive cat is not serious
but most cats who are well cared for, have enough immunity to ward off anything
serious from a bite. In addition, Ember is not active for leukemia. She has
tested positive. Yes, she could spread it through fighting and biting but it's
more likely that she didn't.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!
