FIV & FeLV info

[Freedom]

I received the November 2007 edition to Cat Fancy in today's mail. (It has the Selkirk Rex on the cover).

They have an article on FIV on page 30. And an article on FeLV on page 38. Plus an article on FIP on page 28-9. (Friends of mine just lost a cat to FIP).

You may remember my year old, Bobby, is FIV positive. And LuckyNumber7 has one cat as well. So I was interested in the FIV article in particular.

There is an increased risk to the other cats in the house developing FIV, even with no bites, which dismayed me to read. The FIV vaccine will help the cat give off less of the virus, limiting the risk, which I loved reading! I will see about getting the vaccine for Chaplin!
