If kept inside FIV cats can live a normal life of up to 12 years, we can't get the kittens tested until 6 months due to false positives. So we will see, but I have given Markus the option of keeping Steve, his personality is just like his fathers. The kittens have a 50/50 chance of having it being the mother was not infected.

Just a question though, was Morpheus infected prior to the kittens birth or after? Could the disease be transmitted to those kittens otherwise, or have you tested them?

Morpheus's legacy will live on through his beautiful newly born kittens, his loss is hard but with the circumstances it was somewhat expected. Thank you for your condolences Drew.

We had a cat die of FIV and feline leukemia years ago and each time we lose a pet it is more painful. Focus on the good times to help you get through it. Markus,
