Thankfully, my Gray Kitty, has been negative for over 7-8 months now.
All specialists have said we can now stop testing him monthly.

sue, was casper ever double tested to make sure he was actually
negative? a
single negative test means no more than a single positive test does:
unless
we know for sure when the last possible date of exposure was, and do
a final
test 90-120 days after that, we cannot know that any cat is truly
negative.
this is how my cats all become exposed back in 2000--my housemate, the
shelter director, brought in a beautiful little girl who'd tested
negative.
we didn't know to retest back then, and didn't. she became
symptomatic less
than a year later.
as far as i know, there are no cases of an actually negative cat
(tested
twice) who has been vaccinated ever becoming positive from living with
positives. don't blame yourself for something that you probably
DIDN'T do.
