Sylvester is a sweet, gentle boy who likes everyone he meets. He chirps as a greeting and comes over when called. He is happiest when laying on a person's lap, massaging their stomach. He also loves forehead kisses and being brushed. Sylvester has chronic feline herpesvirus, which is similar to a common cold in humans. His eyes are slightly watery and his nose is stuffy, so his breathing sounds similar to a pug's. He still has a good appetite, energy, and loves to play. He has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). FIV is not a big deal; given proper care and attention, an FIV+ cat will live the same lifespan as an FIV negative cat. The disease is extremely hard to transmit from cat to cat, requiring direct blood contact (typically from a deep puncture wound). It is not transmissable to humans.
