Hi April - I just read your mail.  My cat, Chloe, female one year old, pretty 
gray/black/caramel tabby, is also positive.  I have known since June when she 
had a fever.  She has stabilized and is doing so well now.  Very healthy and 
playful.  She is a little squirt, i call her.  I have been looking for a home 
for her since I have two other negative cats and have to keep them separated.  
She is so cute.  i hated to just put her down so figured i would give it a shot 
to see if i could adopt her.  Do you have other cats at home? How is your cat 
doing now?  You said it's in her bone marrow.  Are there different stages?  I 
am not sure totally about the disease as this is the first cat I have ever had 
in 30 years that has the leukemia.  So, it is all new to me also.   Dot

Hi,
 
A couple of weeks ago I posted about my cat Spicy who I had adopted from animal 
control unaware she hadn't been tested for FELV/FIV.  I was questioning whether 
to get her a friend or not.  Last week I had her blood sent out to confirm if 
she really had FELV.   Well her results came in yesterday, it's in her bone 
marrow.  I still haven't decided on a friend for her yet, I'm unsure what to do 
with my house already full.  I think I would need to adopt another cat with it 
already in their bone marrow too, right?  I've never had a FELV+ cat, so I 
don't know what to do.

Hi Dot, 
 
This is all new to me too.  I do have other cats at home, Spicy lives in a 
bedroom by herself.  She has two windows to look out of, a cat tree and a 
sofa.  Spicy has had no signs of the illness.  So I didn't know she had it.  I 
adopted her the first weekend in June and took her to the vet a week later.  
The receptionist at my vets was the one that stressed getting the test done 
because she knew that the shelter I adopted her from didn't test, I had no 
idea.  So for a week she was with my other cats.  I just looked it up there are 
6 stages of FELV.  Spicy is in stage 5.

Same here.  When I first got an FELV cat, I was paranoid. But that was  
in 2001. Many of us don't think it's as contagious as is presented.   
I've mixed mine with my others for several years, no problem.  All  
mine are altered and sit around and eat and sleep.


Some of what I've learned is1) they may live a long time, may  
not,   2) they're not that contagious,  3) double positives (FIV/FELV)  
don't live as long,4) If they're born with FELV they tend to die  
at 2.5-3 yrs old,  5) interferon and stuff like that are worth a  
try.  Oh yeah, and always questions your vets advice   :)

I have mixed neg/pos for years now as long as neg is vaccinated AND
NOT a youngster.  The kittens/young cats are much more susceptible and
I always keep them separate until they are older and are several
months past both initial vaccination and boosters.

 Hi Dot,

 This is all new to me too.  I do have other cats at home, Spicy
 lives in a bedroom by herself.  She has two windows to look out of, a cat
 tree and a sofa.  Spicy has had no signs of the illness.  So I didn't know
 she had it.  I adopted her the first weekend in June and took her to the vet
 a week later.  The receptionist at my vets was the one that stressed getting
 the test done because she knew that the shelter I adopted her from didn't
 test, I had no idea.  So for a week she was with my other cats.  I just
 looked it up there are 6 stages of FELV.  Spicy is in stage 5.

 Hi April - I just read your mail.  My cat, Chloe, female one
 year old, pretty gray/black/caramel tabby, is also positive.  I have known
 since June when she had a fever.  She has stabilized and is doing so well
 now.  Very healthy and playful.  She is a little squirt, i call her.  I
 have been looking for a home for her since I have two other negative cats
 and have to keep them separated.  She is so cute.  i hated to just put her
 down so figured i would give it a shot to see if i could adopt her.  Do you
 have other cats at home? How is your cat doing now?  You said it's in her
 bone marrow.  Are there different stages?  I am not sure totally about the
 disease as this is the first cat I have ever had in 30 years that has the
 leukemia.  So, it is all new to me also.   Dot (freehold, NJ)

 Hi,

 A couple of weeks ago I posted about my cat Spicy who I had
 adopted from animal control unaware she hadn't been tested for FELV/FIV.  I
 was questioning whether to get her a friend or not.  Last week I had her
 blood sent out to confirm if she really had FELV.   Well her results came in
 yesterday, it's in her bone marrow.  I still haven't decided on a friend for
 her yet, I'm unsure what to do with my house already full.  I think I would
 need to adopt another cat with it already in their bone marrow too, right?
 I've never had a FELV+ cat, so I don't know what to do.

 April
