Re: Leo

[Tad Burnett]

Hi Phaewryn    Munch and Jett along with CJ, and 2 others that tested neg but that were so highly exposed that they would have been put down anyway, that have been here for 18 months or more are still perfectly healthy.. I have thought of having them retested and see if they can be in that group that was able to throw off the bug... But until a few weeks ago I would have included Leo in that well group.. He was here for 18 months.. Leo had lost a lot of weight when he got sick but I was supprised that he had weighed 1/2 pound less when I 1st got him... As I remember the 4 of the 6 AW cats that I lost in the 1st 6 months were also starving but Munch and Jett were at a good weight... Makes one wonder if its tied to what ever food they were forced to eat to survive on that starts a cancer growing... The new science is looking at genetically modifying the immune system so that it will attack the cancer cells... Maybe there is an answer there and maybe they will use FeLV+ cats for their lead tests which might be a good thing... Tad [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tad, I'm so sorry to hear you lost Little Leo.
