Feline leukemia: saliva, from mom to kittens in utero or nursing, sharing litter box, grooming, fighting.
Feline immunodeficiency virus: blood contact (like bites), from mom to kittens, sexual contact.
It is transmitted through saliva and blood. Cat fights are one of the main ways.
air borne
Gasp is correct. Neither of these virus’s are air borne.
I’ll be looking forward to reading the answers here. What I know is both can be transmitted through bites and saliva. And I do know that cats with leukemia can live a good life and not be a danger to other cats in a household.
Both can be transmitted by bites from another cat and kittens can contract the leukemia from their mothers.
So cats that are spayed and neutered are not at as great a risk as intact cats out playing the singles bar routine.
maybe if they eat out of the same bowl
Our cat was in a horrible fight with the neighborhood tom cat. He came home with all sorts of cuts and bites. A few weeks later we figured out he’d contracted feline luekemia from the fight and he was so sick he had to be put down.
Cat fights are at the top of the list, that’s why it’s so important to spay/neuter our pets. The virus is in the blood and in the saliva, but a sick cat won’t necessarily infect other healthy cats living in the same household. Two of my nine cats have both conditions and none of my other cats have any symptoms and the Vet. has given them a clean bill of health.
probly just like it is in humans.
bites and mating
