Barbara,
   You should not take away from all this that most positive cats live until 10 or 12 without any problems. I think the majority on this list have died before 4 years old, probably. But the point is you just don't know. I lost one at 18 months, one at 3, one at just under 5, and I have two who are about 4 right now and one who is about 6 (knock on wood a thousand times-- I get scared even writing it that I will jinx them, especially the 6 year old!).  It varies a lot. It is really important to keep them as stress-free as possible, to feed them good food, and to give them immune support supplements (I give mine some mixed in gerbers chicken baby food every morning-- there are all different kinds and there is tons in our archives about it and i think someone made up a little primer on it too).  When they do get very sick, there are things that can be done which have helped some of the cats on this list when no one thought there was any hope, and then sometimes nothing works.  The point again being that you just don't know-- you don't know, your vet doesn't know, we don't know, and Tom doesn't know.  It's one day at a time with these babies. The most important thing is to give them a chance.
Thanks for doing all you have done for Tom, and I am glad you found this group,
Michelle
