Re: FIV and calico

[PEC2851]

You know, I never really stood back and looked at the shelter's FIV females as far their colors, etc. Now, reading this, it really hits home.... Our FIV+ girls are few (10% female, 90% male), but the majority of them ARE calicos...... Also, second to the calicos are the solid black girls....... Very odd. Nina, what you said about them being "feisty" is so true, and does make sense. Also, we see many more males testing positive for Felv/FIV, but the females we have had with both viruses have also been calicos......... Patti
