I believe there is a link between feline leukemia and children leukemia.

I’d never have a cat with kids. Never.

I BELIEVE.............sounds just like a Steve Martin routine. I grew up with cats, my children grew up with cats. I believe that this is just another BS study and this is becoming the Friday silly thread.

Around here it’s either a cat in the garage or mice in the house. Cats are better.

Agree 100%!

Pretty much. Crazy people are more likely to let the litter box stay uncleaned too long and will have higher rates of this infection.

The vast majority of schizophrenics or others don’t have this infection.

Bross and Gibson reported in 1970, that the exposure to pets could be a factor of the development of leukemia. They discovered the increase risk of leukemia among children exposed to sick cats to two-folds.[30] This was also confirmed by Petridou et al. (1997) in Greece. However, Swenson and colleagues proved to be exactly opposite.[31] The concern that pets may be associated with childhood leukemia arose when oncogenic viruses such as Feline Leukemia Virus (FELV) were discovered in animals.[30][32]
