Orange kitty's arrival delayed
I hope this message makes it...seems some of my recent posts have not shown
up, and I'm starting to feel like I've been booted or something. but anyway... We will be picking him up from Marilyn's tomorrow after her service, and from there to the vet to get his routine screenings. I understand she was happier than anything to learn that someone would take the venerable fella, who for some reason was called Orangie or Rocky-Stallone on his papers. He'll be the only one here without a two-legged name, but that's okay. we also understand that while friendly, he is also his own law. His reaction to our swaggering Stosh will be interesting to say the least. I shall post, albeit nervously. I hope all are well...Marilyn is where she is, anyway. Blessed be, Baha -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |

Sometime back i did post. Probably in November or thereabout. the discussion had arisen of how Marilyn wanted her cats to be cared for after she passed. and she told Michelle she wanted me and Louie to take one. We elected to take the guy known as Pumpkin, AKA Orangie, AKA Rocky Stallone, depending on what papers you look at; if we end up with him I think he'll be known as William of Orange. We said we'd take him because he's the oldest and would be the hardest for the shelter to place. Now today we just learned that one of Marilyn's cats is FIV+ and the others will have to be sequestered or a while; they will be all tested tomorrow, Louie and I footed the bill for it. The positive ones will go to Michelle (the Tenth Chance president) who keeps a wing of her house set off as a sanctuary for FIV cats. The negative ones will be retested after 8 weeks to make sure they're negative, or until the vet says it's okay to move them to different homes, single-cat or multiples like us. So it is ultimately a medical decision now whether we'll be getting this guy, and a moral ecision on all parties involved. As much as I want to keep to Marilyn's wishes, it would be irresponsible to allow the potential of transmission of FIV to the other cats. So i'm in kind of a bind. We will take another one from the shelter, at least, if all these cats end up with FIV. Sebastian, the fella we learned today was the carrier, was for some reason not sequestered. So we could have 9 others with the virus, some or none. And if none show up now, some could show up in two months. Will anyone here know if, you test and it turns out negative, how long before it could show up positive if a cat's been exposed? Blessed be, Baha -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |

See the other posts The test used in vets can throw up false positives so if a cat tests positive they need a second test (IFA? ELISA? Help me here people!) to be sure. Also if I remember test will show negative between 4-6 weeks after initial infection and that FIV tests in small kittens are unreliable because they can pick the virus up from their mothers and clear it from their systems later You might want to know that a survey of FIV+ versus FIV neg cats done by the University of Glasgow Department of Veterinary Medicine found a higher mortality in the FIV neg group! Commonest cause of death in FIV + cats the survey found? Road accidents Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
