I feel really bad, because I have a healthy cat population room that I live in with the healthy population cats, and a felv+ room, and no matter how much time I spend in the felv+ room, it is never enough, and obviously not as much time as I spend in the healthy population room. I was just about to mix them, because I had a kitten who is now over a year and has had both felv shots, but I hadn't yet. I think what I will do is order a condo, and put her in it for at least a couple of hours a day out front for observation purposes.
