Oh yeah, I see what you're saying. So you never do a full box change with
the scoopable you use? Wow, that's amazing, I always had to change the entire
box at least once a month, as the clumps would break up over time, and the bits
would be too small to scoop, so it would begin to reek after a month. You must
be using a brand I had never tried.
Yeah, you're right about the FIV and FELV contagions risks. FELV is more
apt to be transmitted than FIV if all the cats are friendly to each other. I
wouldn't think twice of mixing a FIV in with negatives, if the FIV cat was
friendly and there wasn't any risk of him attacking anyone. Unfortunately, for
me, I have an FIV+ cat here now that is stuck outside (and I don't believe in
outdoor cats, other than ferals, but I have no options), because he is VICIOUS
to other cats. He's a horrible beast, really. Sweet as a kitten to humans, dogs,
and kids, but HATES other cats with a passion. So in cases like that, I wouldn't
mix, so he has to live outside. I've been trying to find him a home with no
other cats for months and months, but no takers so far. All the dog people don't
want a cat, and all the people that might want to adopt a cat already have at
least one, so he can't go there. Really discouraging for me, because I have
ferals that wont come home most of the time because he attacks them. It's
getting colder now, and they NEED to be able to come get in their insulated
shelter, so Zack is a huge concern for me right now. I really hate to euthanize
this cat, but it may come to that soon.
