| I'm very sorry about your friend's cat. I don't know the
answer to her question. It was brave of her to act quickly
and not let him suffer.

| Isn't encephilitis a brain inflammation? I know arund New England in
the summer sometimes we have to be careful of getting it from
mosquitoes. Both animals and humans can catch it this way.

| I would be really interested to hear of any connection between the
two illnesses. I too thought that Encephalitis was transmitted by
mosquitos but perhaps "encephalitis" has other connotations as well.
Have any other owners who have lost their cats to FeLV found this
happening? I have Francis who is FeLV+, and am very interested.
Also, please pass along my condolences to your friend for her loss
of Bosley.

| Thank you all for your expressions of sympathy. I will pass them along to
my friend. And thank you, Nancy, for adding Bosley's name to the SLM.
As for encephalitis being transmitted by mosquitos, I think that may be
equine encephalitis. Other than that, I don't know anything about the
virus. In a mail message, Jo mentioned that flailing legs is often a
symptom of FIP. Perhaps Bosley's condition was misdiagnosed (and/or I
didn't get all my facts straight). When Bosley was first taken in, he
was found to be Felv+. Perhaps when he became so sick at the end, it
was assumed that it was leukemia, when it might have been FIP. Jo also
said that FIP cats are often found to have Felv as well. For now, it
would seem that no one else has experienced a connection between Felv
and encephalitis.
I guess I'll need to get back to my friend with more questions. If I
learn anything new that would contribute to this discussion, I'll be
sure to enter the information.
