I agree that I would not put a cat under just for FeLV testing. But as for the painfulness, are you all saying it is painful during the test or afterwards? Simon was out during the test, but I feel like I am in twilight zone if you are all saying it is very painful afterwards because he really did not seem to even notice it and both the oncologist and the internist said it was no big deal. I would not have done something to him if the vets had said it would be painful. Maybe a bone marrow biopsy for lymphoma, which is what he had, is somehow different than what you are talking about, but I don't think so. Michelle
