Susan asked me to forward her message to the list.  Here also are my 
comments on it - can anybody offer suggestions please?  Thanks -

Hmmmm - I don't know -
I think if they test positive, they have the virus (& antigen).   At 
this point, their little immune systems can 1) kick the virus, or 2) 
remain infected with the virus.  Since it's a light positive, I'd be 
really optimistic.  But then I'm optimistic anyhow...

Just thinking - but I've never heard of kittens getting low dose 
interferon, and don't know what that would do. - Gloria

Don't know why my email to the list is bouncing back!

Just got back a very very light positive test on 2 12-week old 
kittens. Through some "wire-crossing" in our group, the kittens are 
already in a foster home.   The
family has one  11 or 12 year old cat who has nothing to do with the
kittens.  Based on your experience with positive kittens eventually
testing negative what do  you think the likelihood is that this could be
either a false positive (both kitts are super healthy) or that if
positive they will kick it?  Or is it even possible to make an 
educated guess. If the kittens can be separated from close contact 
with their current
cat I'd like them to stay in the home -- it is a potential adoptive
home.  But I want to be able to make a better guess about the 
odds!! Thanks, all.
