Sounds like it to me too. I would wait and retest as Terri said. I have learned the hard way that a 'faint positive' doesn't mean much. It may mean that the cat is healthier.......
My positive cat was a strong positive when she was sick. Once she recovered she was a 'faint positive'. I saw the various results with my own eyes. We were very excited that maybe she would throw the virus. He lived around 6 years perfectly healthy, but then succombed to the virus. But of course a negative IFA is a whole new ball game. THAT sounds very promising! Good luck! tonya --- Terri Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sounds to me like he may have thrown off the virus.
