This being said. Getting Felv is not easy. I have had it in my home

twice,
and my resident, well established cats have not gotten it. My younger
(under a year) one did. However, he only ever tested positive, he

never
came down with symptoms, and with some loving care, high quality food,

and
high doses of vitamin C, he now tests negative.


Just so you know your cat never had it, he tested positive because he
was showing exposure to it but managed to fight it off and never got the
virus which is why he is now negative. There is no cure for Felv so he
could never have had the virus.

I would suggest you read the book The Very Healthy Cat Book: A Vitamin and
Mineral Program for Optimal Feline Cat
by Wendell O. Belfield
and/or check out http://www.wholisticanimal.com/fip.html

There are a lot of studies on the effectiveness of Vitamin C and its ability
to fight off a varity of devistating illnesses in cats.

Jack tested positive for Felv twice, six weeks apart after a known exposure
to an felv / fip positive cat (long story). All five of my cats had high
"FIP titers" Now all five are negative. I'll never not give vitamin c to
any cats I own.

Id also like to know how you think that he could be exposed to a virus, and
make antibodies to it, but not actually "have" it. He was exposed to it,
it was in his system, but he did not get sick from it. it happens all the
time.
