Re: [Felvtalk] Rehome one-year-old grey cat
If youi can afford it, keep him/her. I have a nine year old that was diagnosed at age 4. She is still healthy as can be. None of my other cats has contracted FELV.

Re: [Felvtalk] Someboday caught a chipmunk?!?!
Seems to me it is a good sign. Soe\mehow, one of them had what it takes to catch something. Right now, my Harley is laying on the desk playing with my fingers as I type. My guys follow me all around the house and Harkey loves to play with the mouse on the monitor. I pray that your boys will get well enough for these antics soon. I lose 3 in the last couple of years and I know how hard it is. Marsha mar...@lynxe.com wrote: Last night, I brought Brock Harley their late night meal.

Both boys seemed distracted, especially Harley, who parked in a cardboard box that is on its side. I set Harley's food on the box flap, but after a while he turned around and almost laid his tail in the food. I removed the food, and reached in to see what toy Harley wanted to play with so much in the back of the box. Usually I have a toilet paper tube in there, sitting upright, with a ball on top to be knocked off. But he was ignoring those. Without getting a good look first, I pulled out something fuzzy...a dead chipmunk! What the??? OK, I have one FeLV+ boy with a serious heart condition and no front claws (Brock). And Harley can see out of only one eye, has balance issues sometimes, and cannot open his mouth far enough to bite anything, but he does have claws. Chipmunks move fast, are very agile, can jump, and hard enough even for a healthy cat to catch. I have no idea how it went down, only that it must have happened in the 4 hours since I had visited with them last. Marsha (Sorry if I have offended anyone who loves chipmunks.

Re: [Felvtalk] cat with leukemia to rehome
Hi Maria, Does he have leukemia, or the feline leukemia virus? They are different things. It will help our group to know where you or your sister live.
