I guess, I have a little bit concern regarding mixing FIV positive with FeLV positive together even if they got along well.. both of their immune system is compromised already, and there is a greater chance of your 15 yr old baby is going to get FeLK from Chief - is there any way to keep them separately.. I know many people on the list mix with FeLK positives with negatives together and lots of people who has FIV cats mix FIV positive and negatives together.. but when each of kitty already has something that they are fighting against, I am concerned about the situation.

Right now I have two kitties, Rosie (15 y/o, mom was a stray, she's lived with me all her life, FIV+), and Chief (formerly TeeCee renamed while I was on vacation and adopted by my dad, FELV+ Intact male). Rosie hasn't handled Chief's addition to the household well, she hates him. Last week she moved behind the ironing board, refused to come out, and had bathroom accidents because Chief wouldn't let her out of hte kitchen. He's not mean, just wants to be friends, but he's 22lbs and she's 6... He's HUGE compared to her. So, two nights ago I started taking her to her litter box. She'll potty if I do (boxes are in the bathroom), and then taking her to bed. We dont' have central heat, so sleeping with her locked in my room is chilly, but she's much happier and hasn't had accidents. My problem is that Chief lays up against the door and wails. He doesn't meow or holler, he wails, long drawn out sounds that sounds like he's being tortured. All night... last night I got up and threw socks through the crack in the door until he left. (I had a migraine to boot and felt like ringing his oversize white neck). What can I do to make the situation more peaceable? Steph
