Also be careful of the strings used to raise and lower/close blinds
and curtains......cats can hang themselves.

Try bird feeders near the window and a window perch. Cats can bat
balls and toys even on carpet. A nice box to hide in would be
great. I had two cats who loved the Catnip (I think that is the
title) tape (birds, squirrels etc) even though they had a 12x6x6
covered kennel with 24/7 access. Lots of personal time with you
too.....maybe a tv or radio to listen to part of the time (not all
of the time--it becomes noise then). Dixie has three pans (goat
food size rubber pans) on dollies with grass and capnip growing in
them. She can get into the pans and roll in the grass and catnip
and have a ball (she has three because she wears them down and they
need time to refresh). A warm place to snuggle, maybe with a
snuggle safe.
Ideas.....take what works for you and for Amond.

I think most cats play best with interactive toys. Ember loves the
Cat Charmer, and while we haven't played with it in awhile, she
liked the Cat Dancer, too. I also have a few pieces of elastic
material that my mom gave me, and those work.
A cat condo with a view is a great idea.

Dorothy,
Thank you for telling about Armond. I guess that answers my
question - they can be infected even with the vaccination. That
is too much risk for me and my original cats. If one of them got
sick I would feel horrible!
I don't want to get another FeLV+ cat, it seems like that would
just double the trouble, and both of them in this small room. The
best I can do is make this as a place as possible for him. I
already have one of those donuts with a ball inside, a soft square
he can hide in and various other cat toys. I think I will replace
the chair by the window with a cat condo. Any suggestions for
making room sweet room a fun place for Buzz to be? The floor is
carpeted, so things that roll across the floor don't work.

I absolutely understand about you wanting Buzz to be with the
others. It is so tough to have them separated. We brought in a
stray a year ago and did not have her tested (but we did have her
vaccinated). Anyway, she was positive and exposed our others.
Armond caught the virus but my other cat did not. All of my
animals were always vaccinated. Based on my experience, I would
not mix them. I have had Armond since he was 4 weeks old, he has
had all of his shots and he still tested positive from being with
the other positive cat.
We just adopted another FeLV positive cat so Armond could have a
friend and we had a special house built for them. It works out
great.
