Hello and welcome newbies! Please don't worry about had been said. Sometimes we have bad days and vent....god only knows I have been there myself a lot recently. There are some folks on this list that do forget when newbies join they don't know yet. Have no clue about the Archives. Many of us here are open to answering questions from new folks that have joined this great list. This is a great loving and caring group of people from all over the world. Like one huge family. We were newbies once ourselves. Please don't let it bother you. Sometimes things are taken out of context. I do feel we need to have the OT things whether it's humor or vital information regarding other Feline illnesses. Sometimes there are many cats/kittens that hit all at once getting sick or passing to the Rainbow Bridge. We need to express our emotions. It can be overwhelming but that is what this group is all about...too share and love. I have been on this list since 2001...I no longer have a Felv kitty. I can tell you many have different ideas and views. Sometimes we have other health questions pertaining to our kitties and will ask this group first. I know I have ask them. Like some of us that mixed or not. I did mix my Felv kitties with my non Felv kitties. The negative kitties were vaccinated and tested every year. I have never had one show up positive. I had senior and young kittens exposed to this. Now these are my personal kitties. However, I Do Not Mix rescue cats/kittens for safety reasons. This is group has over whelming information that can help our kitties. FELV is not a death sentence! So you have questions feel free to ask. I can't stress this enough! Geez, better stop starting to repeat myself...lmao! In a message dated 6/30/2007 11:11:54 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
There are some here that are new to this virus. We don’t know much. That is specifically why I came to this site to learn. I am so sorry that distress was caused over reposting of material. I can say I for one have been reading and researching everything I can get my hands on. I am very saddened that some find it intolerable to understand the stress that newbies might be under. I have never had a sick cat—I have been very blessed. But I feel doubly blessed to have people who are willing to share information with me even if it is the hundredth time they have posted it. I know only basics about this virus and understand less. I need help and information and I thank all that have shared.
