Feline AIDS :(

[ratchet22]

EXACTLY! Negitive is very commen, you just have to give it time. Id bet my dollar he is NEG. Just hang in there. I hate testing. I have had Feline Leukemia POS test, but if you do the IFA test, they are NEG, meaning your cat was exposed, but not truly POS. So I have had ALOT of learning on testing. I am in it over $10000.00 in testing. So I am first hand at testing, even my vets office has learned alot about testing and how it ALL works.
AGAIN FIV kittens are RARE and will typically test NEG at 6 months, sometimes even 8 months. I have not Seen 1 yet that came back testing POS later........Im sure he is NEG

I hope you're all right and that he is negative.

Yesterday I was talking to my next door neighbor and I told her that he had tested positive, and I couldn't believe it - she said "How old is he?" I told her 4 months. She said "Well why don't you just put him to sleep and try again with another one?" I almost fell over! I wanted to yell at her and tell her that was the meanest thing I've heard in a while, but I bit my tongue and simply said that we're going to do the absolute best that we can for him, and would never put him, or any of our other animals for that matter, to sleep unless they were suffering needlessly.

Oh Liz, that's all you needed to hear just now!

Make a note to start educating that person. It will be a slow process but hey, its a neighbor, she can't get away! evil

I know, right?

She really is a weirdo. The other day, 2 women were coming to my house to adopt a dog that we were fostering here. They brought along their border collie, who is 4 years old, to make sure that she got along with the dog before adopting him.

They're walking up to my house, and the lady yells out "Well THAT'S an old dog, huh??" They're like "Uh, no, she's only 4 years old". As if that's not weird enough, on their way OUT, she starts ranting on and on to them about how there is a patch of yard which I neglected to rake, and how she was sick of having to do my yard work for me. All of this, to 2 women who she doesn't even know, who are GUESTS of mine! Psycho! Oh, and, I had just broken my foot - I couldn't be outside doing yard work, and she knew this!
