Statistically - about 2/3 of kitties who are exponsed to the virus end up throw off the virus - and, I believe that chances are better if a kitty is older when they are actually exposed to the virus. There is no way for us to know how reliable this statisic informaiton is -- but we know that

it's hard to know for sure what really happened as we cannot re-test the blood from a year ago obviously.. but I would not be surprised at al he was exposed to the virus a year ago, and threw the virus off - again, it's not that uncommon for an older kitty -- either way, it's a great news!!

Is this for human alpha that you give orally or felin omega interferon - the main reason you give human alpah on and off, is because a cat will eventually build immunity to human alpha if you give continuously - but it does not happen for a few months - so eventually, I would suggest that you
