"Condition of her house"? Definitely get the cat back. Hope she never has a child, or a husband or live-in boyfriend, or a houseguest who stays more than two days. (If I was concerned about the condition of my house, I wouldn't let myself live in it. Just rope everything off and look at it f

Esprit has never had this before, in well over a year since she left the Merced shelter. She's an older girl, over 5 years, and vaccinated against rhinotraceitis, and she's an only cat. So I think a sudden herpes flareup is unlikely. This is her first spring in southern California though and

You need a new vet. The in-office ELISA test has a very high ratio of false positives. If I know this, then your vet should too. She just doesn't do the research. Debbie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: After having our 14 cats tested for FELV (because we were told one we had tested positive and

Relax. You've come to the right place. A lot of FeLV+ cats live very long normal lives. What test was used? ELISA? If so, retest with the IFA in a few months. The ELISA has a high false positive rate. Kimber Gieseke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I just found out my 3 year old indoor
