Thanks everyone.

Well, about FeLV... I know there's a risk of fibrosarcoma, even though it is said they're going to develope new vaccines which have a lower risk. But here in Germany, every 6th case of death is caused by leukemia, and since so many PT cats have died from it as well lately, I don't think it's much different in other parts of the world either.

Leslie, which symptoms did your Shy have? I'm sorry she got sick.

And FIV... I heard there's a new vaccine now but it's not available in Germany yet, I've spoken to my vet. This is why I did not mention it on the website, but I can add the information.

I'm just wondering why there's a vaccine against FIV now when there's none for the human equivalent, HIV? Is FIV less mutating?

And boy, that must be a scary new form of the calici virus!! Poor Emily! How is she doing now?
