Doris, I am one of the ones who mix. When I first found out Buzz was positive last January I tried to keep them separate for three months. It was making everyone miserable. I was feeling guilty and trying to spend time with Buzz in the evenings, and that was taking time away from my family and the other cats. Buzz hated being isolated in the study even though I did my best to make it a kitty heaven. Finally I had my five other cats vaccinated and let him have the run of the house in April. I lost my sweet Tucker in May but my vet assured me that he did not have feline leukemia. Since then I have taken in two more positive kitties, so we are four negative and three positive. I do worry at times, but for my family mixing was the best thing to do under the circumstances. It is a personal choice that is not an easy one. Good luck, whatever you decide.
