Cat blogging!  

OK, I'm off by a day. I realized as I finished off the last post that I had a picture of Kitto, but didn't manage to get it uploaded and posted.



This is Kitto, the stray that my daughter has decided to bring in. We got his shots, tested him for feline leukemia (negative), but he has FIV, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. He's loosing the parts that make him a tom, so he'll just be a cat in two and a half weeks, when we take him in for his booster shots. He stayed away for almost four days before he came back to us. He spent the night with us last night, and I think he's been surprised that he can come and go as he pleases now. After the snip, he won't be passing on FIV via mating, and he won't be inclined to get into fights with other cats. He's already been around our cats, but I don't think we've had any fights that would mean that they've been infected. I've seen some swats, but certainly nothing to break the skin.

I was getting worried that we weren't seeing him, as my daughter kept telling people that he had FIV, and I had a thought that somebody might just shoot him to take care of the "problem".
