Coping With Feline Immunodeficiency Virus

I had just got my 3yr old cat January of 2008, so I have only had her about 2 1/2 months. She is my pride and joy. She is so full of energy and love. I took her to the vet because I noticed her belly was looking a little bigger than usual.

Hoping it was nothing more than a sensitive tummy, he told me she has FIV He said that she can live 2 days to 2 months. She is still a baby! I am trying to keep her active and vital and want her to live a full and happy life. She is just too young to go so soon. She has always been an indoor cat so she must have developed this from the mother. This has been the hardest thing to deal with because I have a great love for animals, especially cats.

I am hoping she will live longer than what the vet told me. She is a cuddlebug and I adore her, she is the sweetest cat. I appreciate all prayers said for me and my little bundle of joy. I just want her to be comfortable and not suffer, and if the time comes the last resort is to put her to sleep so she will not suffer.

I also have another cat that has been with her through this whole process. The first thing the vet said is to seperate them. I do not see how I can do this considering how close they are. None of this has been easy for me and just continue to pray for the best. Thank you for all the prayers~
