[Felvtalk] Rossi
The kitty who passed was Rossi. His buddy is Martini -- Martini Rossi! I have 13 other cats in the house, and would never forgive myself if I somehow introduced the virus into the rest of the population. I do allow Martini to play with another cat (who is an outcast by his own choosing -- hates all other cats except Martini Rossi), but supervised and with the food and water bowls and litter boxes put away. Also Martini likes to play with/tease the dogs! He is quite the character, and has a real mischievous/naughty streak. Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughts about Rossi. We buried him in our yard, so he can stay close. S. From: drosenfe...@wi.rr.com To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 09:04:41 -0500 Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Sudden passing? Susan, I'm so sorry for your loss. What was your baby's name? As others have said, it sounds like he went peacefully and that is great. Gentle Bridge vibes to him. Everybody has different circumstances, but is there any way you could integrate your other FeLV+ baby into the household? Many people on this list have mixed their positive and negative kitties with no ill effects to either. That's a thing that some people are comfortable with and some aren't, but it's something to think about and research. The files of this website are an excellent source.

My FeLV+ 5-year-old (or so) kitty died suddenly over the weekend and I was wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences or heard of any with otherwise (seemingly) healthy leuk-positive cats. He seemed fine, thriving in fact: plump, nice coat, good appetite, good stool, active, affectionate. I found him curled up as if he were sleeping comfortably but he was gone. Thinking back, he may have seemed slightly lethargic for a day or two beforehand, but not enough to warrant any concern at the time on my part. Does anyone know if this happens -- a heart thing? Stroke? Needless to say, the only other FeLV+ cat in the household (they were sequestered together) seems kinda lost, and I am a bit worried that he will be affected physically. Thanks!

Re: [Felvtalk] Rossi
Good Morning, I am new to this site, but having several positive kitties I would like to have someone to chat with. 2 years ago I brought Joey into my home. He was about 6 months old and quite a character. I kept him in my bedroom to protect the other cats from this disease. I then brought Angela in so he would have a buddy. After that, I seemed to have many gravitate to me. I at one time had 10, all in my bedroom (thank goodness it is big). In all, 13 have made their homes here, with 7 still living and doing well. I am hoping to educate folks, and find homes for positive babies, as I certainly can't take them all but haven't said no to one yet. I had Joey for just under 2 years when I lost him. Have had a couple for under a month, but they knew they were loved and I was able to be there for them. I am so sorry that Rossi has passed, but he will be at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you. Thanks for letting me drone on.

It's good that Martini gets to play with another kitty at least -- and torment the dogs, how good is that!! I'm sure others will chime in with experience and advice on your situation, but have you considered vaccinating your others? The stats are pretty good on that.
