Well, good news and not so good news. The cat that originally started all of this, Ozzy, is definitely an older cat and as I suspected, he tested positive for FIV although neg for FeLV. As he is obviously a battle veteran and drew blood from the person who originally rescued him too,

Since Ozzy has no teeth, even if he fights, he can't spread FIV because FIV is spread by deep biting during a cat fight.  He can't spread it through a scratch or through any non-violent contact with any of your cats.  I have about 3 FIV+ cats mixed in with my my regular gang and no one is any

I have several cats with no teeth who knock back the dry food like it's their last meal.  Cats don't really chew very much unless they catch a very tough mouse.  Mostly, they give their food a few chomps and down it goes.  They have a very high acid content in their stomach that does the rest

Amen to that Lee! I think Ozzy will calm down and really appreciate being rescued, Kathryn. Somehow they just know it. He will like having his food served to him on a plate instead of having to scrounge for it. You did a very wonderful thing Kat. Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids
