Re: [Felvtalk] Adopted an FIV+
Be careful of the snake and cats. If he is big enough, he could cause a lot of harm. The garage sounds wonderful. Copper and Thomas Cougar and Dixie before them loved my attached garage. The boys are constantly asking for patrol time there and, when they have their way (which is most of the time) they spend hours there daily. I don't know what the lure is but all three cats wanted to be in the garage. On Jul 4, 2009, at 3:52 PM, LauraM wrote: I have 2 FIV who I keep with 2 FeLV+.

There are 3 big windows and the cats love watching the turtles inside and the birds and frogs outside. Their newest source of entertainment is a large black rat snake who seems to have taken up residence in the garage. Every time I try to catch the snake, he slithers off under a turtle tank or something, but he sure keeps the kitties occupied!

Re: [Felvtalk] Adopted an FIV+
There are a couple of other FIV groups too. At any rate, seems like the transmission is always said to be via very deep bite wound, and I never have neutered cats do that. I of course mix my FIV cats - they never get sick, do very well. They're the best!
