Well, the trip to the vet today was not great. My kitty, Aspasia (which means "welcome" in Greek) has been a little sick lately so we trotted of to the vet this morning. When I adopted Aspasia several months ago I was told her had FIV, which is a feline immunodeficiency virus, different from HIV in humans but similar names. Her having FIV was not an issue for me because I fell in love with her when I met her. I asked the vet to confirm this diagnosis so they did a rapid test and it turns out she does NOT have FIV, she has feline leukemia. This is also an immune suppressing disease but the life expectancy is much shorter. For now she is relatively healthy and happy and I intend to keep her that way. Aspasia is my baby, I love her very much. I pray we have many happy years together.
