πŸŽ‰πŸΎ Happy 3rd Birthday, Chiana! πŸΎπŸŽ‰

On August 11, 2025, Chiana turned three years old! That makes her officially an adult cat—and, being a Maine Coon, she’s now stepping into her regal years with even more grace and fluff.

From the day she joined our family, Chiana has been a quiet, gentle presence—chirping, chittering, and following me from room to room like a loyal little shadow. She may live with FeLV, but she doesn’t let it define her. Every milestone with her is worth celebrating, and this one feels especially meaningful.

At three years old, she’s a full-grown Maine Coon lady—still playful, still loving, and still reminding us every day how precious life is.

Here’s to many more birthdays, cuddles, and chirps from our beautiful warrior cat. πŸ’–πŸΎ

Test Results: July 28, 2025: Still REGRESSIVE

Chiana's Latest Test Results: October 2024

Update

Another six week testing done: another test result. It's amazing how "routine" these tests have become for all of us. Yet, when the latest numbers showed that she's STILL REGRESSIVE, we're excited. Nothing to report. Nothing needs to change. Not today. :)

Test Results

Date Status Viral Load
6/17/25 REGRESSIVE 7.9 10⁵ = 790,000
7/28/25 REGRESSIVE 4.9 10⁵ = 490,000

Analysis

There's nothing to report here as well since the numbers dropped. What will happen next? We always wonder. One minor observation is that Chiana seems a bit more "loving" as a Maine Coon. She's been coming up to both of us, chittering and wanting attention more. We don't know if that's because she's feeling better or if it's because she's almost 3 years old and an adult cat. Regardless, we're happy to see this.

Next Steps

  • Continue the current 50 mg/day dosage of Dolutegravir.
  • Continue monitoring for any behavioral/health changes.
  • Retesting Date: Week of September 8, 2025.
