Subject: [Felvtalk] Question<br>
<br>
I have three cats, and take care of other people’s cats.<br>
My daughter’s friend has a FeLV positive cat, can I keep her in a separate room for a week, do I have to wash all the linens and clean the room, after the cat goes back home? It’s because I take care of other friend’s cats also and want to know if they can
catch<br>
The disease. <br>
