Beckie,
Yes, it can definitely be behavioral! Smart of you to figure this out!
However, you might want to get bloodwork done on Miles to rule out anything
physiological.
I would think that any extreme temperature changes would not be good for FeLV+
kitties. Keeping them stress free is very important.
Please keep us posted on Moe and Miles!
:)

Hi everyone.
Thanks for the responses. I had them do blood work on him, and its fine, he’s
eating like a cow, and drinking like a camel.
Something that I discovered today is that it’s NOT him going to the bathroom in
the kitchen; it’s our OTHER FLV+ cat, Miles. Now Miles is about 4 years old,
seems perfectly healthy, eats and drinks, plays, etc. I HAVE noticed that last
couple of weeks though he’s been being REALLY affectionate, and I haven’t been
able to spend as much time with him and Holly (our 5 year old cat who does NOT
have felv) as I usually do because I’ve been so busy with Moe. Is it possible
that Miles has started to use the kitchen as his own personal bathroom because
he’s jealous of the attention that Moe is getting and trying to get our
attention? I KNOW it’s Miles, because he didn’t hear me get up this morning,
and Moe was lying on my pillow next to my head (like he normally does), and I
got up went out to the kitchen, and he must not have heard me, because I caught
him red handed doing his business. I made loud noises, and stuff, but I don’t
know why
he’s doing this. He has been acting kind of weird. Like if we’re in the
bathroom taking a shower or using the toilet and the door is closed, he’ll sit
outside it and just HOWL. Never did this until a few weeks ago. I figured it
was because he was worried about Moe, but now not so sure.
Also, how much does heat effect felv?
We LOVE the heat, and try not to use the air conditioner, but it’s going to get
pretty warm here in the next week or so, and I was just wondering if I should
turn the air on for the cats?
Thanks again everyone. I’m so glad I found you all!
Beckie
