My Mittens made it to 2 and a half, died of Mediastinal Lymphoma.
Calawalla died at about 3 yrs, same diagnosis with some variations.
Mr. Black Kitty was FELV/FIV+, and seemed a good bit older when he
died. He was not a kitten when I took him in. Died suddenly,
unexpectedly.

Do you have any idea of the average lifespan of the 60 you have known? Have
many died in the 3-4 years range? Someone I met who has had a number of
positive cats was surprised when my Jo died of lymphoma at 3 and
said that in her
experience if they make it to 3 they will live longer. Simon died at about 4,
though I am not certain of his age.
Thanks,
Michelle

I have a wonderful Vet that works with me to do the best we can do for
