Clean weel give the new pet defferent food bowl, and bed, spray the most used habitats with disenfectant if you think necessary. I had three other cats in the house when mine died and none of them came down with it. Since you said "a few months ago" you're probably safe already. -- Jim Budler Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I lost my 16-year-old last January to Feline Leukemia and have another that seems to have plateaued in more-or-less Ok condition. The minimum waiting time I've heard from reliable sources is 30 days. If I were you I'd probably wait longer to be sure. I know one person who waited a full year and has had no problem with her new kittens which have now been living with her for a full year. Here's hoping they find a vaccine for this vile disease. (For those who don't know, Feline Leukemia is not a true Leukemia, but is more closely related to AIDS.) -- Byron C.

Don't forget to get a new litter box as well.

The recent discussion on cat leukemia reminded me that my vet told me
that a vaccine should be available about the first of the year.
Anybody heard any other info?
