I agree. I have mixed various positives and negatives over 10 years. I've never had any transfer. But I have never mixed cats who had not been vaccinated first. It's just not that easy to transfer the virus. tonya Gloria Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I support and agree with what

Crush L-lysine tablets (500mg) and sprinkle the powder on top of, or mix the powder into, a little bit of canned food (or more canned food if that is more convenient). I add to a small amount to my cats' food to make sure they get it all but a feral will likely eat all the food anyway.

l-lysine is a wondrous thing. tricks the herpes virus into not replicating, for some still-to-be-determined reasons. there is ongoing research to find out how and why, and the EXACT dosage to use in cats; many multi-cat facilities use is prophylatically (um, haven't had caffeine yet, is that
