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

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 know. Please respond.

I've mixed mine for years, had negatives re-tested numerous times & all is well. I even had an FIV positive cat who mixed with my FelV cats for 10 years. He never got it, either. You might search the archives on "mixing" for more info.

Both of them have been intermingling with my negatives (currently 8 of them) for years. I keep the negatives up to date on vaccinations and haven't yet had one turn positive although I kept the very young cats away from them until they were older and thru the full series of vaccinations.
