When I was a teenager (63 now), we had a cat of about 3 or 4 years old that started sneezing like Lulu, but what came out was tiny droplets of blood. This went on for a number of months, until one day my Mum saw something sticking out of her nose. Pulling gently on it revealed a blade of grass about 20cm (8") long. All the sneezing stopped after that. To this day I'm still not sure why they never took her to the vet, as they were definitely animal lovers. So glad it all worked out well in the end. This cat lived to 19 years of age, so clearly no ongoing issues.

I’m currently desperately trying to get my parents to take one of our cats to a vet. He sneezes constantly(my best guess is allergies) and has lumps in his ears that are filled with brown fluid, along with wax build up. My family all loves him but every time I try to say he needs to see a vet they just brush it off because he’s “always been like that” even tho he’s scratched his ears bloody multiple times. I just keep thinking maybe they don’t understand how serious it could be because he’s a cat and he can’t say “my ears are so itchy!” I’m glad your kitty was eventually treated, albeit unconventionally. Here’s hoping my kitty will get to a vet before the summer ends.

I adopted Andrej when he was a kitten and the person who gave him to me lied about his FeLV status. They said my Andrej had tested negative, so I believed them and made no more tests. We later discovered this was not true, and poor Andrej passed at 5 years old because of his illness. He was also a gentle white cat such as Coco. RIP.

Over the 6+ years we’ve had her she has fallen in love with my son. But if she hears a man’s voice, she goes running. She had been a stray for a year and was treated cruelly by humans and cats ( she is small,). Anyway, no one would have adopted her. Luckily we heard about her from the man that was feeding her when she was a stray. There are so many wonderful pets out there with something that makes most people not consider them. They are just as loving and great companions!

Isn’t it a vaccine given when they’re kittens? I guess if they’re not vaccinated against FEL L euk then, they will only vaccinate them if at risk (living with a FELL positive cat, being an outdoors and in fights with other cats). I imagine you can request it, however. It sounds like it is much more rare in AUS than in the US.

@@toomanyopinions8353it's not usually recommended for indoor cats because the viruses are transmitted primarily through deep bites from infected cats, and the vaccine for FeLV has a very small (but not zero) risk of causing certain sarcomas at the injection site if given yearly. The risk of leukemia for an outdoor cat outweighs the chance of that side effect, but not generally indoor cats. Also (in the US anyway), kittens usually get one round of the vaccine with their other kitten shots, which should be enough if the cat that tested positive is friendly with them.

Here’s the thing that I don’t understand about why they acted like Coco was dying. Yes Feline Leukemia is contagious and limits a cat’s immune system the fire allowing them to get sick, but a well taken care of cat even with FELV can live a long happy life. You just have you watch them and taken them into the vet sometimes more regularly than if they didn’t have it. So was Coco already going to pass on due to the anemia? It’s wasn’t quite explained clearly

Coco’s episode was originally aired in September 2010 (Season 2 Episode 11) meaning it was likely filmed in late 2009 or early 2010. According to Cornell University of Veterinary Medicine the median survival after diagnosis is 2.5 years. But that’s with aggressive treatment like blood transfusions for the anaemia and antibiotics for the infections that would crop up. He’d have been in and out of hospital quite a bit. From the tone of the episode it sounded like the owner was looking to keep him comfortable at home surrounded with love and spare him invasive treatments that might have extended his life, but would also have been very scary and stressful. I’m afraid he’s long dead. But it’s lovely that his film clips are still being aired online where people can see what a magnificent boy he was.
