Hi Jodie,
Welcome to the FeLV group! You've found the best
source for reliable info. and great support in dealing
with FeLV.
I unknowingly mixed my positive with three negatives
for 2.5 years before I found out my positive was
positive. He lived another two years before passing.

Terrie,
Bless you for taking this little one in and giving her
the care she deserves. She's a lucky girl to have
found you. To spay/abort or not is a personal choice.
You just have to do what you think is right for new
kitty. I think either way, whatever kitties remain
will be loved and cared
Tomi is absolutely beautiful; you can see the love he has for you in his eyes.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you guys know that Roombie (our new
Roomba Sage for pet owners) went on it's maiden voyage
this morning. The kitties were somewhat alarmed at
first, but by the time it cleaned for 45 minutes and
docked itself, they weren't too concerned with it.

Hi Joe,
I have seen several times on two different kitty
'sites' that some cats don't like Merrick, so don't be
surprised if Stitch won't eat it. I hope he does,
because it's supposed to be good stuff, but if not,
there's other good stuff out there. BTW...I could use
your advice in making
Not the stomatitis itself, however, cats with severe stomatitis could die
from not eating, it the mouth lesions make it too painful to eat. Likewise,
cats with untreated stomatitis could also get secondary oral bacterial
infections which could in theory go systematic and be deadly.

Interferon is indeed an immune system booster.
Interferon has no effect on test results.
A dental is a good idea, oral health is very important, especially for
immune-compromised cats. Your vet sounds like he's well-versed and yes,
antibiotics

They certainly can't help any. I would treat for them ASAP. Anything that

I had my FELV+ live with my UNvaccinated negatives for 18 months, all
groomed each other constantly. I had NO transmission. I think it is spread
by saliva to BLOOD contact, or blood to blood contact, predominately. If it
were spread by saliva to saliva, my other cats would have caught it.
I was unable to catch up on all the past 3 days worth of email. My deepest
condolences goes out to those of you who suffered losses during that time.

Hey guys,
An addition to the warning to never leave a dryer
running while away: never leave your dishwasher
running while you're gone either! It can also catch
fire. My apartment complex ten years ago experienced
this exact thing, and I didn't believe it until I
actually spoke with a fireman
My understanding is that about 70% of adult cats are immune to FELV so it is
quite possible to mix UNvaccinated adult cats with a positive and have no
problems. It is also possible, if you have one of the remaining 30%, for it
to be transmitted even by saliva.

Well I bought a flea comb and went through Tomi's fur fairly meticulously (he
got a little annoyed at me after awhile). I really can't see any evidence of
fleas. I got no flea droppings on the comb, a small bit of white dandruff and
some fine hair from his undercoat, that's all. Oh, and I
