[Felvtalk] 28 Cats..

[Gloria]

Sheila, my 2 cents- 
- for me -  it's not just spreading the FeLV to others, it the autoimmune problem of not being able to fight off viruses or diseases that they could get from other cats.
I have Buddy in our guest room - in a controlled environment- we replaced the door with another re-engineered door. The replacement door bottom panel we replaced with clear plexiglas so he can see the other cats in the house, and the top panel with a screen door screen guard panel for air and to get house sounds. He uses the plexiglas as a drum-especially when he wants attention!

I have spent at least 2 hours with him each night for the last 5 years- have my own easy chair and large screen tv :)

That's the remedy I came up with so he gets plenty of loving and entertainment- he's probably the healthiest of all the other 14 I have inside!

•Food: no junk food, both wet and no-grain kibble -that includes a variety of brands- and fresh water
•Vaccine: wouldn't touch it - I don't use vaccines unless required by law
•Stress: I keep it as low as possible, that means only vet trips if life & death- can't afford routine visits because we're living on retirement funds 
•Pray: a lot
Will be praying for Robert too!

I thought about letting Skylar out only while I am home and see how it goes with the regular cats.  But I have a FIV cat in the mix of the other cats and not sure if they would pass germs and cause more harm.  My Felv has no signs of illness since he was moved him indoor.    I don't think he can be near the FIV cat.  Thanks for any info
