My stats to begin with. 11 cats 1 turned up positive and I kept her. She lived to 7 or 8. 1 positive is probably 10 by now and is fine and dandy. I'm down to 4 cats now. I've lost more cats to old age reanal disease. tonya

Sissy, one of my house 2 y/o, has always had swollen lymph glands.

I've lost cats to CRF, heart disease and a dog attack in addition to FeLV. I learned to treasure each day we have together. Worrying about the future doesn't help me or the cats.
