Cat is now testing positive. She was never tested as a kitten although her parents were and her littermate was. She has never been outside although one if the cats in the house did get out for about a week. That cat and all other cats in the house have tested negative. So is it possible that the cat that got out brought it in the house but still tests negative and this cat was exposed and is now positive?
