Congratulations on our new additions! I'm sure Murphy sent them your way :) I am so drawn to black kitties. I just lost mine this morning from complications from Stomatitis.  It seems many times they have realized they need super personalities to overcome the black kitty syndrome. I have

The other thing is that among adult cats with healthy immune systems, it may not matter whether they're vaccinated or not. I'm of the camp that thinks it doesn't matter. I've seen articles about this but sorry don't have a reference right now - that healthy adult cats are going to throw

Thank you everyone for all your comments and feedback.  It is definitely helpful and encouraging.  For those that have asked, the FELV+ kitten is Magic and she is about 5 months old and healthy other than her diagnosis.  I have three other cats.  Leroy and Zoe are 2 1/2 and had their FELV

I'm writing this on my phone so limited on what I can write. But everyone of course follows their own heart on this. I've been mixing mine for a few years As others do with no problem. I think they hype up the contagion something terrible. I just don't think it that contagious. Gloria Sent
