RE: mixing

[Chris]

I brought in two kittens (6 weeks & 3 months) after I found my Tucson.  My oldest cat was about 1 ½ years old when Tucson came.  All four cats lived together for 4+ years before I discovered Tucson was pos.  They’ve all consistently tested neg; I now get them vaccinated though I hadn’t before.  I figure if they haven’t all come up pos by now, its awfully hard to ‘catch’ it!  They’ve eaten out of the same dishes, use the same boxes, groom each other, have their little spats with the usual scratches, bumps and bruises…      Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of catatonya Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 12:33 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: mixing   a year.  but I got my positive unknowingly and both she and another kitten of 3-4 months were basically like littermates.......... t carrie chance <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: adults, what age do you consider an adult ...... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 7:39 PM Subject: Re: mixing >I say mix, no need to vaccinate healthy adult cats.
