DORI: Welcome everybuddy to another episode of Kick the Litter, a brand-new feature here on It’s a Wonderpurr Life where members of my family, comprised of cats from varying backgrounds, generations, and breeds, gather each week to mix humor with intelligent debate over Hot Topics that pertain to not only us, but to cats in general all over the world.
We hope by daring to meow about these risky topics we will educate humans who sadly are still living in the Dark Ages when it comes to cats.
Today's Hot Topic up for discussion is:
Joining me
today are Elly, Chevy and my daddy, Nikolas. One out of the three is not
positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, otherwise known as FIV+. By looking
at their faces, care to guess which one?
ELLY: Hi,
I’m Elly. Tomorrow is my sixth Gotchversary. Yes, tomorrow February 17th.
When I arrived in the yard of my future Forever Home, I was a little over a
year old. I had made friends with a handsome mancat named Noah who told me he
knew where I could find food. I’d been living in a colony for a while, but that
was a scary place. So, I followed Noah to a yard that smelled of raccoons and
dog food. I thought Noah maybe had lost his mind, but he looked expectantly at
the house, and soon a lady came out with kitty food and fresh water. She was so
nice, and I wasn’t afraid of her at all. A couple days later she took me to a
doctor so I could be adopted. That’s when she got the bad news. I was FIV+.
