I totally agree with Gloria.
Everyone has been exposed too late on separating them.
There is no such thing as a light positive.
It is either positive or negative.
I can honestly say that I had positives and negatives live together for
years.
I vaccinated the negatives every year.

it used to be thought that if mom was negative, the kittens would be, so
VERY often kittens weren't tested at all, or at most, one from the litter
