Re: [Felvtalk] new positive kitten/QUESTION

I've mixed for years. You might want to search the archives for "mixing" as 
this is a common question & you will find lots of info. I always make sure any 
cat that hs tested positive has 2 negative Elisa tests b4 feeling confident.

So far, all of mine are healthy and they squabble all the time, drink from the 
same water fountain and eat from the same bowls, use the same boxes.  Just keep 
the negatives vaccinnated.

My positive grew up wrestling with his two negative brothers and they were
fine.  They initially all tested negative, so some of the tussling happened
before
the neg's were vaccinated, and still no transmission.  Once Will tested
positive, we vaccinated the neg's.  Will lived with them until he passed at
3.5 years.

Keep the negative up to date on shots and he should be fine.  My opinion.

  Ditto. I've mixed mine for years, had negatives re-tested numerous times &

But what about mixing when the healthy male cat likes to bite and plays rough 
with the FELV pos cat?  They wrestle, lick, groom together and bite/nip as they 
play and cuddle and sleep together.   Has anyone had mixed cats that do this 
and my question is, is it safe in that situation?  It's one thing if they are 
all just hanging out but if there is close contact, what is the consensus?  Is 
that a safe situation for mixing the positive and negative ones?  Curious to
