A friend of mine recently had her cat diagnosed 
with feline AIDS.  I've not heard of this.  Does
anyone know if this is a virus related to the
human AIDS virus?  Do you know how it is transmitted?
Is it possible to transmit the virus from human to
cat or vice versa?  Does it transmit easily from
cat to cat (she has 8 other cats).  Any info
you can send me would be appreciated.
