Re: [Felvtalk] Any info on FIV cats and non FIV cats
Consider using Feliway (spray, not plug in) in the room you introduce them in and using Rescue Remedy in the water of all involved cats (and maybe yourself) for a couple of days prior. Also consider putting items he sleeps on (towel or maybe a wash cloth you have rubbed him with a lot) with the other cats and visa versa so they get used to each others smells. Good luck. This is a wonderful thing to do and he will be a wonderful cat for you. Cats who have been on the streets and chose to live with you are the greatest little friends you can have.

Re: [Felvtalk] Any info on FIV cats and non FIV cats
I have had FIV cats mixed with non-FIV cats for 4 or 5 years. No problems. I know others in my area who do that too. Our vet supports it. My FIV cats stay pretty darn healthy, like the other cats. So no problem! Hope this helps - Gloria On Jul 22, 2008, at 8:01 PM, April and Jay wrote: I am thinking of bring in a sweet sray we've been caring for into our home.
