Re: [Felvtalk] Any info on FIV cats and non FIV cats

Consider using Feliway (spray, not plug in) in the room you introduce  
them in and using Rescue Remedy in the water of all involved cats (and  
maybe yourself) for a couple of days prior.  Also consider putting  
items he sleeps on (towel or maybe a wash cloth you have rubbed him  
with a lot) with the other cats and visa versa so they get used to  
each others smells.

Good luck.  This is a wonderful thing to do and he will be a wonderful  
cat for you.  Cats who have been on the streets and chose to live with  
you are the greatest little friends you can have.

I think, too, you want to wait a bit before introducing him to the  
other cats. Keep him in his own room for a couple weeks. And  
supervise the first meetings….

April, be sure he has been neutered and then you shouldn't have any  
major problems.  There is a Yahoo feral cat group that has some  
great files on taming strays and introducing them to your home.

I am thinking of bring in a sweet sray we've been caring for into  
our home.
He is FIV Positive and non of my cats are. From what I have been  
reading it
only seems to be past on by a deep bite wound. Does anyone have a  
FIV cat with
non FIV cats? He has been very healthy. How long a life do they  
usely have?
Thanks ahead of time!
