There is nothing more tragic than a sick pussy.

Best of luck Lorelei, I know it's heartbreaking having a sick pet.

I Gainesville, FL, I remember seeing when I worked at the Humane Society a report from, I believe, Operation catnip, the people who rent out traps to use to catch strays to be spayed/neutered, that said that about 7% of cats in Gainesville were FIV Positive. This is the wild/feral population. I also remember there were supposed to be between, if I recall correctly, 70 to more than 100 thousand feral cats in Alachua County.Lorelei wrote:Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is acutally quite common. I got all my cats screened for it when I got them and they are all negative. Since they are indoor cats they just get a booster vaccine every few years.

I may be reversing the statistics for Feline Luke and FIV. I do know that in the maybe hundred to two hundred cats I tested while working at the humane society for about six to eight months, only two or three turned up positive. Many of these were strays.Lorelei wrote:For some reason I thought it was more prevalent, may round here it is...but I have no numbers to back that up.

Lorelei, I hope your kitty is aok! 
I have an icky stomach bug...courtesy of SoS (who had it a few days ago). Perhaps I shouldn't have let him make all those gingerbread men (probably baked a whole lot of love and germs into them). Shame that my partner then took a whole lot of them to his work for his colleagues!
