Just to reassure everybody… These
two cats are very much together—Rita NEVER thought about separating
them. She now is clearing out a room where they will have a bit more freedom
but still is nervous about exposing them to the general population. Wasn’t
sure what ‘light positive’ means. Mischief had ELISSA but not
IFA. She will get that done…but not sure if she should wait a while or
what…

Have a 16 yr old black cat
that has tested VERY LIGHT positive TWICE. Her lifelong buddy has tested neg
each time & remains with her. I have to keep them caged (large
upright). They have an inside cage & a porch cage.
"Mischief" appears in the best of health, eats great, poops
beautifully & shows no signs or symptoms of disease or illness.
Would it be safe for me to
shut a room at night for them & let them have some freedom if I picked up
ALL bowls & Litterboxes in the morning? And what exactly IS light positive?
Not sure what 'light positive'
means. I asked if this was on Elissa or IFA… Rita runs a
hospice for senior cats many of whom have various med problems so she is concenred
about exposing their already compromised immune systems to FELV and exposing
the FELV cat to other diseases….
I can tell you what light positive is. ""Light
positives" are where the treated blood only changes color slightly. This
means your cat is infected with the virus, but the virus is not very active in
its system."
My kitten was "light positive" on
Elissa. She later tested negative.
