Cats with feline leukemia?
Yes, there is such a disease, and it's deadly. What do you want to know? All cats should be vaccinated for it, and any cat who roams outside is quite at risk. When I get a new cat I have it tested for Feline Leukemia before I even bring it home because it can easily spread and I have a cat that cannot be vaccinated due to a bad reaction. Take this disease very seriously.

Does Sparta from the mean kitty videos on you tube really have leukemia?
Edit - leukemia in cats is NOT the same as leukemia in humans. It is NOT cancer NOR is it a death sentence. I had a FeLV (feline leukemia virus) cat and a FiV cat (feline AIDS) and both cats lived to be 20 and 22, respectively. Yes, he really does. Leukemia in cats is not an automatic death sentence, he has probably got a 50% chance of surviving at least three years. A few cats are carriers who never get sick at all. It's a fairly common, easily-spread disease in cats. There are treatments but no cure, but there is an effective vaccine. Good luck Sparta, we love you.
