In a perfect world.... But at the rate that neg. 8 week old kittens are
being PTS this year
what are the chances of finding some one to isolate one kitten..
Considering that the 1st year of a cats life may be its most fun in life
and if it is POS.
than that likely will be it only life... What is acceptable isolation ??
being caged ???
I ask because I have offered to take 8 week old pos. but they will have
to be mixed
with my older pos cats... No more chance of testing neg. for that point...
These are kittens that we infected by their mother at birth and even
though they say
it is possible for them to go neg. really how often do they ????
The kittens that I have had infected at birth have ALL passed before a
year old and I
think that has been the case with several others on this list...
I also have 2 others that most likely were infected between 8 and 12
weeks and they
are still doing well after 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 years...
Any thoughts on this ???

Subject: Re: FelV+ kitty that needs a home
I will talk to her about the pos. pos. cat then and tell her what
you said. As for the black and white kitty, I just have never
brought another cat into the house because #1- Monkee hates other
cats! He's crazy. However, one of the "street" cats I talked
about, I call her "the little girl"- she is on my front stoop all
the time and when Monkee is on his porch, well, they see a lot of
each other. Now, he's not totally cool with her, but he has
gotten better and she's kind of become a nice, distant companion
for him since he's gotten ill. When I do take him out now, she
walks around us, near, but never touching, and he seems to like
it. But I wouldn't want to do ANYTHING that would distress
Monkee- like bring in a kitty. And #2- I still have trouble
understanding the whole FelV+ thing. Since she is a kitty, I
would worry that she could be false pos. or throw off the virus
and if so, exposure to Monkee would be a very bad thing. I have
just always played it safe and never let Monkee touch or get near
any other cats ever. I always tell Monkee that I could "do more"
for the kitties out there if he wasn't such a b*stard! But I
think he "knows" that and likes to keep it that way!
