MAYBE TULO WASN'T FELV. HE could of had a heart condition,or cancer,or other things.

Thanks for your responses. I feel a little less stupid and guilty for not having every cat tested before it joined my household. I have many cats and the fee for testing is $40, so I can't afford to do them all at once. Does a cat get noticeably sick when it's first infected? Three of my cats have been sick enough to need bloodwork since I adopted Tulo, and they all tested negative. If a cat is infected by an asymptomatic carrier, will the newly infected cat also be asymptomatic? My cats are indoor cats. There is no possible outside source of infection. I am just baffled at how Tulo could go from alive and healthy to very sick and dead in one week. I'm also baffled that no other cats have shown signs of illness.
