Many times a "slight positive" is a test that isn't correctly read.  I
can't say it is all the time.  I had a kitty who tested "slight positive"
who came up negative on retest.  No way would I separate the babies, if she
is positive and they are going to be infected they're likely already
infected.  Just my opinion.

Re: [Felvtalk] Tucker

[Ardy Robertson]

I am actually thinking that next time around I will adopt a more senior cat. My 
age is getting to be more “senior” in nature, and I worry that if my pets 
outlive me, what will happen to them? Both of my kids say they would take them, 
but my daughter is more of a dog person, and her hubby is very allergic to 
cats. And my son loves cats, but is gone all the time traveling – I just don’t 
think either would be an ideal situation.

Rachel, "senior" rescue isn't for everyone, and I don't fault you at all. ANY 
cat who finds a home is cause for celebration. If we couldn't place  the young 
ones the less adoptables would be out of time that much more quickly. It's hard 
to wait for the right cat, but you'll find her. 

Good luck :)

Yes, the two I am looking at are girls as well and look very similar to Tucker. 
I figure girls have way less of chance for getting blockages.  I know I will 
disappoint a lot of people on here, as well as some friends that do rescue by 
admitting they are young kitties and not old. I do feel a lot of guilt because 
I don't want any kitty to not have a home, but in the end it needs to be my 
decision and I have thought about the pros and cons a great deal. I wish I 
could save them all.  I am praying my new kitty will get used to riding in the 
car and will take her to work to get her used to it. Tucker actually loved 
riding in the car, when he was homeless at work he used to follow me to my car 
and put his paws up on the door ledge to get in. When I did take him home he 
snuggled right in the crate and looked positively content. I took him to the 
mountains on vacation. We had a nice cabin with a huge screened porch so he 
could watch the wildlife. I also have the pet tracking gps collar he had to 
wear on vacation just in case. I never left Tucker or Daizy in the eleven years 
I had her with a sitter, where I go they go or I just don't go, I don't trust 
anyone with my animals except my mom and she lives in Texas. I want my new 
kitty to travel too if at all possible and will work very hard to make this 
happen. I also hope to get her used to brushing her teeth every night just like 
Daizy. And I hope that she and Daizy will play together like she and Tucker 
did. I hope that Harry will fall in love with her antics and cuteness like he 
did Tucker and come to appreciate cats even more, and even fall in love with 
her.  I meet them tomorrow and hope I feel something when I do. I desperately 
need to heal from this aching emptiness. One thing I know for sure is that my 
kitty will never see a shelter again. Even if I  die my family would never let 
that happen. It makes me so mad that people adopt a pet only to later find it 
"inconvenient" for whatever reason.  They give up their animal yet end up 
getting another one later. Pets are forever for better or worse. Anyways I hope 
everyone still likes me even though I am looking at young kitties after all 
they need a good home and life too and one will have that with me for all of 
her days.

Rachel – you sound like you are going through a lot of the feelings I had after 
Tigger passed away. I quite accidentally looked over at the kitties in PetSmart 
– I was NOT going to look at them that day. But Topaz looks very similar to 
Tigger even though she is a girl and Tigg was a boy. That somehow is comforting 
– even though I am determined to not compare the two of them. I even had GUILT 
about liking Topaz. But I did feel like I had to get her out of that glass 
enclosure, and heck – I have a big house, what’s wrong with bringing one home. 
You will know if it is okay to help out another kitty…….Ardy

I picked up Tucker’s ashes yesterday. I was really worried as I didn’t know if 
it would make me feel better or worse. I haven’t eaten since Sunday my appetite 
is nonexistent, I have managed to choke down a couple protein shakes. My eyes 
are so swollen, I feel bad for anyone who has the misfortune of looking at me, 
or being around me for that matter. Well, I of course cried all of the way to 
the vets, and all the way home. But then I curled up in bed with my little box 
of Tucker, and I actually did feel a little more at peace. I laid there with 
him and went through my pictures again and

Hi all, I am in a rescue group, and one of our mommas came back as "slightly" 
positive per the vet, I must say that confuses me as the test was a combo 
test... Thoughts???In addition, she has two three week old babies, opinions on 
whether or not they should be separated???

[dlgegg]

Yes, I would do FELV if I brought a new cat into the house.  All here noew have 
already been exposexposed so vet agreed if they ahve not become positive by 
now, no nead.  At any point, all are healthy and well, no illness in the pride 
for the last 4 years.
