I know, but sometimes I think I would like to know for sure.

That's why I've stopped testing my exposed cats unless they get sick. If they're positive I'm going to keep them anyway, and keep them mixed.

Tonya,
I just discovered after this tragedy that one other has it, but she had been tested for it in the past, so it must have just reared is't ugly head recently, she is now on Interferon.
catatonya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Cherie,
I'm so sorry about your loss of little Snowball. As you can see this is a very supportive group. I have just started catching up on my emails. Did you say one of your other cats is also positive or that they are all negative?

Everyone has beed tested recently, my concern is that it happened so fast and so consuming.
If everyone has been tested recently..and ALL were negative..then no one is sheding the virus...if his parents were 100% negative..I see absolutly no way he came into contact with the virus!!! UNLESS he got outside? did he mabey escape? even just once....If all th cats were tested recently...and they were all negative..then I would call for an autopsy..this vet may have just "jumped to conclusions" based on..I dunno what...but with what you first said..about her deciding Snowball had FeLV based on her platelet and white blood cell count..and now that all your other kitties are 100% negative....there is NO WAY he was positive!!! UNLESS he did come into contact with another cat at somepoint...think..think ...think...

That is what I hate too. Not knowing. Is this going to be the last good
day with my babies? The good thing about it is that I don't take any time I
have with them for granted. I tell them I love them over and over again,
every single day.
