I have information different from the other post which states that the rate of infection is not high. As cats lick each other (part of their social pattern) and can transmit the virus when they use the same bowl, my information is that the infection is frequent and nearly cannot be avoided. My gut reaction would be to allow natural selection to take out the weaker individuals and allow the others to procreate to some degree (we are in a farm environment - in a city this is not such a good idea). But where deep personal relations have developed, as they have in our family, this is not such an easy solution. Good luck with your cat population!
