Tamara, Even if he does test positive, he can be housed with negative cats. I have 1 of 2 positives left and she eats, sleeps and has slapping bouts with the other 5 cats who are negative. My vet said as long as the negative cats are vaccinated , there should be no problem and there has not been one for over 4 years. Please try a little harder to find a home for him and above all, do not de claw hiim. I haave found a great scratcher for cats at WalMart. It is made of cardboard, shaped like a hollow half log. It is made to hang on door knobs, but my cats like it lying on the floor. I have one in each room and if someone is frustrated, they take it out on the cardboard log. Like in the wild, our cats don't catch a mouse or bird every time they try, the birds actually sit in front of my cats, daring them to try and catch them. ---- Lynda Wilson <longhornf...@verizon.net> wrote: > Let’s keep this thread friendly.
