Hi Hideyo,
This particular study was on NATURALLY infected cats (no IP infections -
Yuk)
Kind regards,

Hi MC,
Whenever I see something of interest, I use CISTI which
allows you full access to the "neverending" research on whatever one wishes. The
study that I recall that I ordered a few years agothat confirmed
non-aggressive transmission (other than "paw flailing" at their
feeding station)
I don't know but I know 2 vets who mix fiv cats in their own homes with negatives.

Yo Glenda - Very interesting! Would be interested to see a breakdown
of the cats and infections. In other words, which cats were infected
with what, and then which came down with what? Were there any
normal non infected cats to start out with? Or just cats with
viruses already.
Also, i've
OK - I found CISTI at http://cat.cisti.nrc.ca/ - Yeaa!
Found an article on bovine lactoferrin for Herpes cats.

Bailey (and the rest of the furkids) are getting the bovine
lactoferrin, have been for a while. I'mn going to start making their
food very soon, I finally got all of the vitamins, minerals, and other
things that have to go into it. Hope to start this week sometime.

Happiness is
I have a couple of questions/thoughts on
this First, no mention of anyone vaccinated, no indication of cats
ages, etc. Also, given the shortcomings of initial testing (virus may be
hidden), I would think it would be hard to tell with absolute certainty who had
what when! I was also
Just for my own info if you con't mind--so FIV cats are really at less risk
from virus than FELV cats?

Right - the FIV cats are at less risk, and considered less
contagious. It's considered to be only contagious thru deep bite wounds,
so the study mentioned is interesting.

Well, just my own simplistic attitude about this whole thing--viruses are
strange little things in humans animals. The science is just now catching
up with the 'life cycle' of viruses and more more we hear about viruses
that we all carry than can sort of be activated by a variety of
oh, heavens, yes, chris--not only that, but to a great degree, all FIV
really seems to do is make cats big, lazy and couch-potatoes...
seriously--from the experiences at the FIV/FeLV sanctuary, the
HEALTHIEST population--including the owner-surrenders, strays and
ferals, were the FIVs.

This
is an interesting test that I failed miserably, it's scary to think how
dogs are wrongly classified as this breed and are wrongly persecuted.

Take the test and see if you can pick out the pit bull out of this page
of pictures. It's amazing how
Nine cats were initially FIV-positive and six more cats became
infected during the course of the study, without evidence of having been
bitten*.
Thank you Glenda. I stand corrected. You may, quite literally, be a
life saver. I guess this is why vets don't trust anecdotal reporting.

Oh, yeah...it's a shame that the bully breeds are taking the rap for very,
very bad owners! We have two dogs, Lucy (a pit bull mix) and Oscar (a
lab/retriever mix), both rescues...the funny thing is, they don't come any
sweeter than Lucy...I trust her completely (even around the neighbor's
Thanks Belinda!
I have forwarded to other lists that I'm on. It is very interesting that many of these dogs are misread and end up being killed in the shelters. I can personally say that aboutthe infamousshelter in Everett, WA. They will euthanized anything that looksor resembles a Pit Bull.
Tamara,
I didn't mean pits were a problem dog, as you say it is the idiots
that own them that are responsible for their behaviour. My sister too
has pits and they are very sweet, big babies really. They get along
fine with each other and her kitty, but then, they are trained and
treated
I wish more people would see this
breed specific laws are just crazy. My parents had a small llasa-terrier mix(we
think) who was the cutest thing on 4 feet but would nip at anyone whenever she
felt like it! I have a friend who had a small dog who got more visitors
standing on chairs
I have to agree with you wholeheartedly at all points!!
I have three definite FIV boy cats - they are so healthy! I rescued
all of them three or four years ago, and they are the chubbiest, and
happiest cats of all. One developed Diabetes a couple of years ago, and
I almost lost him after
It IS strange, isn't it, how cool the fiv cats are! My fiv cat was just as you described. The MOST laid back, friendly, neat cat I've ever had. HUGE! Especially when I first rescued him and he wasn't neutered yet. (I don't know his age, but he was old and died of hepatic liver disease. We didn't
A friend of mine had a pit that the cats slept on. If she moved or tried to nudge them away he would say "Sally, let the cats sleep." And she would kind of moan and lay back down. lol.

part of the problem is that we don't know anything about these guys'
history BEFORE they come to us--even with young cats, we don't know
what diseases/illnesses they've had before, what genetic problems they
are carrying around etc. so it's hard to know which is their past and
which is the
