The reason 1/3 die from it is it is VERY hard to diagnose and some cats will have it and get a negative test result and not get the treatment, I have never heard of a cat getting the correct treatment (doxy is preferred to treat it, though some cats need a 6 week course to eradicate it) ever dying from it.  Any one else heard of that???

I alwyas treat if there is the slightest suspicion that my cat has it no matter what the test results are, I've known people who's cats have had 5 and even 6 negative tests but the cat actually had it!!

The feline leukemia home page says it is a contagious disease, 1/3 of cats die from it, & the ones who don't will have it for life.
