If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Longleke posted a discussionI just lost one of my cats to, of all things, Feline AIDS(or FIV). I just thought I'd share that it is indeed possible for cats to get it, and that you should have your kittens tested(as kittens that have it may of received immunities from their mother, and thus eliminate the need for testing later). Older cats with a positive test result may need special care. I was unaware of FIV, and it cost my cat his life.
It's most common means of spreading are deep bite wounds, so keep an eye on any marks.
It seems to effect only about 10% of the wild feline population, so compared to Feline Leukemia it is fairly rare. The problem is, there are effective vaccines for Feline Leukemia, where as for FIV the vaccines are hit and miss, and result in a permanent false positive on all future testing.
So yeah, I just felt like sharing the word.
