Right?  What is the worst that can happen?  Another cat gets FIV?  SO?  My 
Mom's cat Lucky lived with five other kitty siblings, he had FIV, no one else 
got it and he lived to be 16,  However, our cat Shtinky did NOT have FIV and 
died of a stroke at 12, Frankie, also NON FIV died at 5-1/2, Miller, NON FIV 
died of Lymphoma at 14, and SuzieQ, also NON FIV died of cancer at 3.  
Therefore, this just shows to go ya that FIV is NOT a death sentence and should 
not preclude a kitty from getting a wonderful home. EdnaTexas Siamese Rescue -

It is so good to hear this, Beth. FIV cats can usually live long healthy
lives, and they are not going to infect other cats unless there is a deep 
bite wound. However many people are afraid to adopt an FIV cat, and these
people need to be educated about FIV.
