I have mixed mine, sharing food, boxes, etc, and they were fine. All were healthy, with good immune systems (till the FELV kitties got sick, that is.)

I had one 18+ yr old, sick cat (FELV negative), that I kept isolated.

In retrospect, I wish I'd started interferon on the FELV cats as soon as they walked in the door.

Hi,
I am curious since all of this has happened with Snowball and now Amber, I have read numerous things, it is said that if cats share foods, the uninfected cat can be infected, but I have also read and heard from this group that the FeLV virus pretty much dies as soon as it hits air. When I asked my vet she said prolonged nose to nose contact and a bite from the infected cat, I am confused, can someone give my some correct information.
Thank you
Cherie
