Thank you, Anita.  That’s very comforting to hear, especially right now. Do I understand correctly that the mom and her kitten were positive first and then became negative later on, too? – or did the mom and her kitten remain positive, but the rest of 10 kitties are tested negative?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of catstevens Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 2:49 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: I'm SOOO scared - i need your support!   Hideyo I am praying for you.I don't think you need to worry about all the other kitties.A few years back we were in a similar situation.We found out a mom & her kitten were FeLV positive & they had been with all the others grooming,sleeping,eating everything.I was in a panic with help I took all of them to the vet to get tested & other then the mom & her kitten all 10 of them were negative.                Anita   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 11:23 AM Subject: Re: I'm SOOO scared - i need your support!   Hideyo, I am praying Uh-Oh (love his name!) is negative. If he is positive, though, you should know that it does not mean lots of your other cats are. Many cats do not get it, even without vaccination. I think it is easiest for kittens and cats with compromised immune systems to get it. I of course would be worried too, but I do not want you to think that if Uh-Oh is positive it means you will have an epidemic of FeLV on your hands. Michelle
