My cats had their leukaemia jabs as well, the vet recommended it when you have a mutlti cat household...............

I have decided to get the kitties their booster jabs probably in January. Chloe's is due now, but Misty in January I think so will take them both together when Misty's is due!! Squeeze them both into the box!!!

I have 1 dog and 1 cat.

Would LOVE another dog.. and another cat...

But no more cats, while I have Oliver.. Cos he's a whimp and doesnt defend himself or put his foot down, when the kitten get too rough

But another labbydor wouldnt be bad

Does anyone know the real facts about multiple cat households and the risk of feline leukaemia and feline AIDS? I thought there was a significantly higher risk in multi-cat households but prehaps that's just an old wives' tale?

I don't know the real facts but it happened to me this year - Tippy Toes was diagnosed with feline leukaemia and died of it I had to have all my cats tested - I was really lucky and she hadn't passed it on to the others - but I think its a high possibility because with the feline leukaemia it is passed on through saliva (bites etc) and sharing litter trays (this is what I was told ) and sharing food bowls which in a multi cat household they all do that.

I have
1 dog
2 cats (& lots of fosters)
2 bunnies
8 chickens
fish

As for cat diseases - I know several people who have got more than 8 cats & none have had any probs with diseases.

With the rescue cats we routinely B/T them all & it is very, very rare that any are positive to FL or aids. Some of the cats tested are from colonies of ferals living outside.
I think if sensible hygiene is adhered to - & regular imunisation is given, the risk is minimal regardless of how many cats are in the house.
