This was how I got started. I had 12 cats total. The positive (I didn't know was positive) was about 8 weeks old and her 'best friend' was a negative about the same age. They were together at least a month, probably closer to 2. I found out she was positive, tested, retested, retested everyone. She stayed positive and lived to 6 or 7 years old. Everyone else who is still with me is still negative. The ones I've lost died from various reasons, kidney disease, stroke, etc....... ALL were retested the rest of the time only when they got ill. NONE ever tested positive. I still have the 'littermate/friend' who was a kitten when exposed to my positive years ago. He is still negative.

I know that finally mixing FIV & non FIV kitties is FINALLY being accepted but I am wondering as to what you all here think about mixing FeLv & non FeLv kitties. My daughter adopted a kitten years ago that was not tested for FeLv until she was about 3 months old. When she was tested, it was positive. They already had another cat & the two had been together since little Juniper arrived, so essentially 3 months. Jonas was tested & he was negative. I believe he was given the vaccine then. Juniper has since gone to the bridge & Jonas is still healthy & non FeLv.I know that there are many folks who do mix but I would like to hear the feelings about it here.PamHurricane Katrina's terrible message: if it is too dangerous for YOU to stay behind as a disaster approaches, then why would you leave your PETS behind? Never ever ever leave them behind! Have enough crates for all & take them with you! They are your family!
