And thank you.
When I lost Serenity, I felt like the floor opened me up and
swallowed me.
Like I said, I had only had her 5 months, and my vet and his wife
(who have
several felv+ cats, and Dr. Smith is constantly doing research,
even @ 73
yrs.) warned me that when she becomes symptomatic, she could go
very fast,
it just depends.
I was soooo glad they were there for me.
Felv+, I have been told, can kill a cat so many different ways.......
Or, their body can go, but the mind is sharp as a tack.
I have a good client that has only had felv+ cats, his limit is 3.
The reason being, 4 is an unlucky number for him, if he has 3 and
gets a
4th, one dies really soon afterwards.
He is an international pilot for UPS, and has been for 25+ yrs. (cha
ching....$$$$$)
He is down to one felv+ cat, and he has "sworn off".
Ever seen a very big, macho Texas man cry like a baby while holding
his cat
@ the vet's?
Not pretty.
The good thing is, he only has been working 10 days per month (10
days on,
20 days off), and when Chairman Meow leaves him, he plans to work
more and
donate a lot more money.
In otherwords, he has been just working his minimum to be w/ his
cats, but
once they are all gone, he will fly more and of course, have more
money.
Right now he is a very big donor, always there for my "project
kitties".....
When he retires in a few years, he really hopes to start a
sanctuary, and he
will have a lot of people to help him.
I don't know, I have always said that, it takes a very special
purrson to
have a felv+ cat, unconditional love, also......
LOTS of people are even "afraid" of them.
I recently had 2 people over on separate occasions that would not
even enter
my felv+ room, they just looked through the door.
They were really afraid of taking it home to their cats.
I understand that it is a very "delicate" virus........
I just call them my little "bubble kitties"......... :)...

Thanks Susan. I know you are right. One can only
take so much exposure to Corona when your immune
system is not so great. I just don't get why some get
it and some don't. I suppose if I could answer that,
I'd get the Pulitzer.
I will always wonder, though, if I had isolated him
with a smaller number of cats....Oh well, I will never
know. And here i was worried that he'd infect
someone. They are so fragile.
Sorry about your little one, too. Ki came to me in
July, too. He was only 12 wks old. It just takes
time, I guess.
