any color at all that appears in the little circle during the appropriate
time (10 minutes in most cases) means positive. depth of color has nothing
to do with amount or strength of infection.
positive is positive, pregnant is pregnant.

Hi Tonya,

times in his 11 years of life, at least 4 times and the tests were given
years apart and he always tested a light positive.
I know it's not scientifically proven, but I believe light positive
means recent exposu
I have to agree with Gloria. Keep the cats separated and don't move anyone
until you have had some more time to retest. Hopefully your negatives will all
end up negative.

I know it's not scientifically proven, but I believe light positive means
recent exposure. Hopefully the cat will fight the virus and turn up negative
within a couple of months.

I really do not like the whole "light positive" thing. It is

Agree about keeping the family together. As my vet would say, they have
already been exposed.
I would separate the other cat for sure, at least until she's had the
booster (30 days?). She is not protected right now. Wondering how long they
have all been together. In any event, I think I'd keep h

Wow, she's a light positive. I don't know how old she is, but I
have no doubt what I would do. I'd leave the kit with her mom and
bubba, and retest at some point. She's already with them, so they're
