cat aids

[Jenarry]

does anyone know the symptoms of cat aids?it's going around in my area and i want to know what the signs are.have got two cats who both love going out so it would be hard/cruel to keep them indoors especially when weather warms up again.

No symptoms. You will see no difference on a cat that catches/have FIV to a normal cat.

Also, just because one cat has FIV does not necessarily mean that the one next to him/her will catch it.

Same as human HIV, the only way to catch it is if they have an open wound. So make sure that your cats don't get into a scratching/biting match with other cats.

ah thanks for that.very reassuring. x

you can also get them blood tested for it at your vets to see if they have it or need to worry

You can have cats vaccinated against FIV.
