                 - Okay...  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:04 AM   #23 
                    - Fiv is containable as long as the cats aren't breaking skin.  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:07 AM   #25 
                       - Okay, once more...  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:11 AM   #29 
                       - The best way to protect against disease is to prevent exposure  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:34 AM   #45 
                       - From Cornell Veterinary College.  smbolisnch   Aug-02-05 12:37 AM   #47 
                          - Mutual grooming is not fighting. So, no, it's not safe to assume  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:38 AM   #48 
                          - Oh for heaven's sake.  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:42 AM   #52 
                          - Well, might as well put them to sleep then.  smbolisnch   Aug-02-05 12:46 AM   #54 
                             - If he/she adopts two Felv positive cats, then they are both  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:50 AM   #58 
                                - You just reiterated my point.  smbolisnch   Aug-02-05 12:52 AM   #59 
                          - Particularly if vaccinated.  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:41 AM   #50 
           - Again, Fiv is transmitted trough bites. Felv is transmitted trough  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:04 AM   #22 
              - felv is ALSO transmitted through bites, rarely contact.  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:06 AM   #24 
              - That's not what every website on a subject says.  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:09 AM   #27 
                 - I never said it was impossible through contact...  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:10 AM   #28 
                    - It's not extremely rare.  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:18 AM   #34 
                       - Sure is...I'm looking at one right now  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:20 AM   #37 
              - Also, this is why you vaccinate the healthy cats.  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:11 AM   #30 
                 - Not really.  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:16 AM   #33 
                    - Why not really?  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:20 AM   #36 
                       - Fine.  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:21 AM   #38 
                          - LOL, and how does that answer my challenge?  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:24 AM   #40 
                             - No, it's not. If you are going to mix Felv positive and negative  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:27 AM   #41 
                                - WTF...80-90% effective does not qualify as highly effective??  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:30 AM   #42 
                                   - And you are very wrong if you think recommending someone  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:31 AM   #43 
                                      - Don't change the subject, please...  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:33 AM   #44 
                                         - 80 % effective means 1 out of 5 cats will get the disease.  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:36 AM   #46 
                                            - 80-90%, not 80%  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:39 AM   #49 
                                               - My cats are indoor. And I am not vaccinating them against Felv.  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:42 AM   #51 
                                                  - What if they got out? Do they not get vaccin'd for anything then?  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:44 AM   #53 
                                                  - What if huge asteroid falls on my apartment?  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:46 AM   #55 
                                                  - Alright well, whatever. You're clearly wrong and know it.  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:48 AM   #56 
                                                  - Wrong?  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:53 AM   #60 
                                                  - Oh for shit's sakes.  smbolisnch   Aug-02-05 12:48 AM   #57 
           - She could get a healthy cat and have huge vet bills.  friesianrider   Aug-02-05 12:08 AM   #26 
              - It's possible. That's why someone with limited funds should  lizzy   Aug-02-05 12:19 AM   #35 
  - My one cat  TimeChaser   Aug-01-05 09:46 PM   #11 
  - I think it's wonderful that you want to adopt elderly or special-needs  No Surrender   Aug-01-05 11:45 PM   #16 
  - I adopted a senior cat in May  RadFemFL   Aug-02-05 12:12 AM   #31 
  - Here's Sterling's photo  RadFemFL   Aug-02-05 07:42 AM   #61 
  - This is the very best thing that you could possibly do,  Rhiannon12866   Aug-02-05 12:14 AM   #32 
  - Rhiannon, it's so strange how our lost pets are so alike...  RadFemFL   Aug-02-05 07:49 AM   #62 
     - I remember Magic well, my friend!  Rhiannon12866   Aug-03-05 04:41 AM   #63
