Is that all there is, is that all there is?
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze and have a ball.
If that's all there is.

Essentially it is the cat version of HIV and eventually leads to the cat version of AIDS.

As for what will happen, that depends on what you meant. I was kidding about me now probably having FIV, nothing will happen to me. As for the cats, they'll likely eventually having immune system problems and die of something their compromised immune system can't ward off.

Okay. You scared me, I didn't think it could be passed to humans but when you posted that...I had faith in your knowledge.

Poor kitties. Thanks, Morri, I thought I heard it somewhere. If it was one of Lisa's cats, it had plenty of love and care. That is for sure.

Charles has it. He's suffering from one of the common complications from being FIV+ at the moment - stomatitis. He's on steroids at antibiotics - has been for a year - but it is going to get the best of him pretty soon.

Aw, Lisa. I know you are doing your best to make his life comfortable.

Here is one thing that is consistent of all cats, regardless of breed, color or gender: they all have brain damage.

Susi starts menopause on Monday at approximately 10:30. It is scheduled to last approximately six months.

Morrigoon · 08-15-2010, 02:31 PM

Well at least you know

Kevy Baby · 08-15-2010, 03:30 PM

Eh... been there, done that.

Last time was three months. This time it is six months.

Although, if she doesn't start her period between now and tomorrow morning, then no shot. Strangely ironic that she has to be on her period to start menopause.
