RE: Chris' Tucson - testing neg than pos
Well theres no doubt Ive been meownipulated from the start. How I got hermy parents were visiting my brother in Tucson rented an apt. First night they were there, a female cat on the roof howled all night. For 3 nights this went on until my mother heard very squeaky kinds of meowing inside the wall. Took 5 more days and many holes punched and threats to management to call media but lo behold little Tucson her brother came out of the wall. They were about 6 weeks old and had fallen into an ac duct. Mom who was an incredible cat must have been dropping food down there while caring for her other kittens on the roofall this in 100 degree weather! Most amazing thing, though, is that as soon as we got both kitties out, she disappeared. I walked around the complex for days holding Tucson, went around at night looking for her and never could find her or the other kittens. Its as if she knew they were safe and she could now move on I always felt bad that I couldnt find her or the other kitties but somehow, I know she had some peace that two of her little ones were going to be OK.

Thats my Tucson. Ive read that calicos are determined and she is that! Only thing shes had problem with is low wbc and twice shes had immuno-regulin and it bounced back up. I know that when she doesnt wolf down anything you put in front of her, shes really not feeling well. But basically shes a big mush who just looks pitiful when she doesnt feel well and all she has to do is look at me with those big adoring eyes and Im putty in her hands!

I had heard that if the felv is not active, not replicating, (or something to that effect), when testing is done, then it won't necessarily show. Maybe that's what happened when she was tested as a kitten. It's esp scary to me since I've only had Timmy tested once, (he the only neg out of a litter of pos). I don't really care, it doesn't really matter. I think of him as neg and treat him as if he's pos. 18 lbs, that's a big kitty! I guess it just comes from having so many animals fall ill and lose weight, but I can't imagine putting anyone on a diet! I know it's not good for them to be obese though. I've just sadly, never had a pos that was overweight. Whatever the scale says, here's to many, many more years of continued health!

Might be thyroid (since weve been talking about that!) As for how he got FELVwell, my Tucson tested neg at about 6-8 weeks and 5 years later tested pos. Never been outside since I got her; never lived with FELV cat; my other 3 (including 2 who came after her as kittens) all test neg. The two vets I went to both told me she likely had it since birth (she was born to a stray outside). Periodically, she looks a little peaked but still manages to stay around 18 lbstrying to get her to lose some weight but its tough! All but eliminated dry foood but when all you do is eat and sleep ..
