Thanks Kat!! I'm at the conference hotel now...and doing okay. I did talk to Slinky and told him I'd be back. He still looked sad when I left this morning, but I just kept reassuring him that I love him and I'll be back. I'm sure he'll be fine.Thanks for the tips...and the hugs!!!Have a great
Hey Tonya! Thanks for the reassurance. I am planning on getting another cat, but I thought I should wait until after we retest Slinky so I'm sure of his felv status (and then can get a pos or neg cat depending on the results). The vet wants to wait a few more months before retesting. Yes, I
Hi MJ,
Slinky will be just fine, and will welcome you back with hugs and kitty
kisses!! Talk to him now, as if he understands words, and tell him what
is going on, and when you'll be back, and that you'll bring him back a
kitty present, etc. By talking to him out loud you will be able to relax
It's always hard to leave them, but sometimes you have to. It sounds like you've done everything you can to make Slinky comfortable while you're gone. I'm sure he'll be fine. Have you thought about getting another cat so he won't be alone when you're not home?tonyaMarissa Johnson [EMAIL

The in house elisha test, although today I would have gone with a
PCR test, this tests the DNA and if they are negative and the test was
done correctly they are negative. It's a tricky test thought and must
be done correctly by a reputable lab. I had Joey, Bailey my positives

Any initial test should be followed up with a retest and it si
recommended tpo wait atleast 3 months before retesting to give the cats
immnue system time to fight it off. This is what I have always heard.
The second test should be an IFA or better yet a PCR.

Karen, it's standard for many "Humane" Societies to PTS cats for reasons as
simple as "room" (as in, to make more room to take in more cats). I used to work
