also, a previously 'negative' cat could in fact have a latent infection which 
does not show up.  This can go on for potentially years and later turn positive 
when sick/stressed.

Sure, if the cat got outside or are otherwise exposed to other cats. Not all 
cats coming into contact with a positive cat will contract the virus.Plus the 
virus can take 90 days to show up on a test. You'd have to be more specific 
about the circumstances - when all the cats were tested, what kind of test, are 
the cats indoors/outdoors?

Is it possible for one cat in a house of multiple cats to be positive when 
everyone else is negative and even parents and all other cats from its litter 
are negative.
