When my first one tested positive for the first time, I freaked. I was ready to separate him out, which would have made him very sad. My Vet looked at me and said "that ship has sailed". They'd all been together long enough that any transmission would have already happened. Since then, one more has come up as positive (on a routine blood test) but so far, no others. I have add two cats to that group, simply because they are three-legged, and need more monitoring than is available in the other clowders. It wasn't an easy decision. They have not been tested since, but are vaccinated yearly.<br><br>You have to do what is right for you :)<br><br>Margo<br><br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: black;">-----Original Message-----

<br><br><div dir="ltr">Because I'm scared. That's why. I wish I could get it to make more sense. It had always been the plan to let her and Merls out when I got them all vaccinated and tested. They are finally all vaccinated and tested, and the youngest is over 1 year old, and I still can't do it.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 29, 2015 at 12:44 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a target="_blank" href="mailto:dlgegg@windstream.net">dlgegg@windstream.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">If your other cats are healthy and getting vacinnated every year for FELV, why not let her in with them. I have never seperated FELV cats from negatives and all my other cats that have passed on were 18 and 19 yeas old, they died of old age related problems.<br>
