Mary,
I was saddened and shocked to read about your cat that
passed due to FeLV. Getting the initial diagnosis is
always hard, but even harder when they are actually
very sick. It's possible he tested negative when he
was actually positive. It happens. Or it's possible
that Chica may have exposed him, and then threw the
virus herself, or tested a false negative. Whether or
not you get Chica tested again is up to you. Some
people want to know; some say it doesn't matter either
way because their kitty is indoor only and the sole
cat in the household. If she is not going to go
outside or be exposed to any other cats, the booster
is not necessary, in my opinion. It's natural for you
to be worried she will get FeLV. The loss of your
other kitty is so fresh still. If it will put your
mind to rest, you might retest her in a couple of
weeks or months. I'm sorry you are having to go
through this. It's hard.
:)
