I think it's just that Cotton will not die until he's good and ready!!! He's a mess. Can't remember if I said this before or not, I think I did, but he only has one eye, two teeth, and feline asthma (and of course FIV). This old lady that had him loved him but had a housefull and never took any of them to the vet. So, he's definitely a survivor. When he first came to live with me he was "the man" and put all my cats on the run. Never fought, just gave them the one evil eye and they'd hiss and run. My husband used to laugh and say that all they had to do was come at him from the left where is bad eye is and take him out and he wouldn't see it coming. He's mellowed out a lot since then but not too many will take him on even today. A few still see him and run when he comes near.
“I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain > Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:04:43 -0500 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Defying the Odds > > Maybe his immune system had improved since he first got FIV so he was abl to > ward off the felv. > ---- Natalie <[email protected]> wrote: > > That's one for the books....amazing! > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [email protected] > > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > > [email protected] > > Sent: Saturday, August 06, 2011 8:33 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: [Felvtalk] Defying the Odds > > > > Check this out - I have an FIV positive cat living with me.
