at the sanctuary, they had a number of kitties with FeLV who developed "saddle" aneurysms--i can't adequately describe the medical condition, but like all aneurysms, they kill quickly and silently. i'm not sure why FeLVs would be more susceptible to them than any other cat would be, or if we're jus

I'm not sure, my Joey has HCM and fortunately for me he had symptoms, a heart murmur, when we heard that I had an ultrasound done and we could see the slight thickening on the left side. We are very lucky that his is progressing very slowly, he has been on heart meds for 4 years and every 6

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 Angel

Because of the age and suddeness I would guess a heart thing. Many cats with undiagnosed Cardiomyapathy can pass suddenly with no outward symptoms, generally before or by the age of 6. I lost my Snyder very suddenly at age 9, no symptoms what-so-ever, just the day he died, he had a heart a

I like that -- Martini and Rossi. 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

I'm so sorry Susan. What a shock for you. I had this very discussion yesterday with a rescuer. We were commenting on how quickly and devastatingly our FeLV cats can succumb. One day they can seem ok, the next they're gone. In my experience I've had a few days' notice. But by that time the nonreg
