Re: [Felvtalk] hissing
I have to share my futon with 6 cats. They fight over who gets to sit closest to me. A lot of times I am in the middle and get the slaps, hisses, etc. Lee Evans wrote: > I was hissed at in the face by one of my cats. No, she wasn't angry at me.

Re: [Felvtalk] hissing
I was hissed at in the face by one of my cats. No, she wasn't angry at me. We were sitting on my futon sofa and another cat was sitting on the back of it, tried to snuggle up to my face and Cloud Nine hissed at him, right into my face. I can tell you from experience that hissing does not contain saliva. I have read that also on a few cat health sites. Now, it does contain cat breath (gasp, Cloud Nine has just eaten some fishy dry food, ugh!) but I don't think that a cat inhaling the breath of a FeLv+ cat is in any danger. Now, interestingly enough, a cat can lob a spit ball. One discontented kitty did that to me some time ago. Splat! Definitely saliva but it was not done with a hiss, it was done with a sort of angry buzzing sound.

Re: [Felvtalk] hissing
If hissing spread FELV, my whole crew would have it by now. We all do a lot of hissing and slapping.

Re: [Felvtalk] hissing
It is spread through saliva, but probably not likely to be passed by momentary hissing.
