Not trusting vet's opinions is a good rule of thumb. The lack of
consistency is shocking, not to mention how many vets will throw up
their arms and give up when a cat tests pos for either fiv or felv. I
only use my vet's opinions as part of the means to guide my decisions.
Research, research, research. I value the experience and opinions of
the people on this list far more than any vet I've encountered.

That's my approach. As I understand, an adult cat with a healthy
immune system can generally repel the virus if casual contact is
made. I have mixed with no problem, do not now because I have foster
cats.
There's so much that's not known about FELV. It's scarey how much
vets do vary in their approach to FELV (also FIV). I never trust a
vets opinion, I always research it if possible. But then vets can
vary in a lot of ways.
