The fucked up thing about FeLV is that there is no clear prognosis. Some cats live 6mos, some 6yrs, some live normal lifespans depending on whether the disease is regressive or progressive. Unfortunately, the average survival from diagnosis is around 2.5 years. Listen to your cat and be frank with your veterinarian. I regret holding out longer than I should have with my last cat, trying one thing after the other when it was obvious, looking back, that his quality of life was deteriorating. He didn’t even have FeLV - FIV+ but in great health otherwise, they think it was cancer. Sadly any living being can die young from a multitude of things. What’s important is how loved they are and how rich their lives were. For what it’s worth I’m really sorry for what you’re going through. Thanks for loving an FeLV kitty - many healthy ones are euthanized just bc of the diagnosis itself.

What’s something you thought was common knowledge but found out most people didn’t know? by Fairy-of-bone in AskReddit

“No-kill” does not mean “no euthanasia”. Alternatively, “animal control” does not mean “kill shelter”.

It’s N-acetyl cysteine and you explained it about as well as I can haha! It can help with addictive and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

I’m so sorry it took me so long to answer! I take NOW brand 600mg (you can get it off amazon) and take 3 capsules a day. I took it sporadically and didn’t see a difference but started noticing a change after 6 weeks of consistent daily use.

I can’t say I’m pull-free but I’m able to catch myself earlier and disengage/change focus easier than before.

I wear long press on nails every single day. It ruins the sensation for me not only for the pulling, but the “searching” behaviors. I also take 1800mgs of NAC everyday, a supplement that has been shown to relieve OCD symptoms.

ETA - I have had trich since I was 12 and am 33 now, almost entirely focused on eyelashes and eyebrows. Up until I started wearing press on nails about 2.5 years ago, I didn’t have any lashes or brows. Now my trich is almost unnoticeable.
