[Felvtalk] Any info on FIV cats and non FIV cats

[Marylyn]

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.
