I hope things continue to move in the right direction for little kitty. I know kittens often test positive for FIV if their mother had it, even if the kitten actually doesn't. Hope it works that way for FLV too, and for this particular little kitty.

Thanks. As I understand it, if the mother has FeLV, the kittens will get it, but may be able to shake it off - if so, they'll test positive for the antibody, but negative for the virus. Here's hoping!
