I have eight cats, included in them are 3 new kittens that I have taken in. Seven of my cats are strays or kittens from strays, but I do have a pure bred bengal, can he get into trouble.
One of the strays that I took in was a three to five year old unfixed male. When I took him down to get him fixed I was informed that he was FIV positive. I took him home and was wondering what to do. He wanted to go out for a little bit and he disappeared. I guess males have a problem when you mess with that part of their anatomy. Anyway two month's latter he showed back up again. (this was within a couple days of Columbia going down, so I named him Ilan.)
I have tested my other cats for FIV and they are negative. He has gained a lot of weight and does not seem to be showing any symtoms.
Maybe this can help someone who has a FIV positive cat?
