I did a very stupid thing, and now I am massively freaking out, and I need some advice from all of you cat pros. 2 weeks ago I brought in my little outdoor stray that I have been feeding for like two years. I had him neutered and flea/ticked/tape worm treated, but that was pretty much it considering I thought he would be going right back outside after he had healed but....two weeks later, he is still here. He was never Felv tested, and my 3 indoor cats were never vaccinated because they don't go outside, and I never dreamed I would bring in another cat. I have been keeping my outdoor cat in a separate room for the most part, but have been letting my boys in just to see how they would react, but for the most part they have kept their distance. They've always been supervised when they're together, and have not touched one another. But just today, stupidly I let my outdoor cat out of his room, and while he was roaming around the rest of my basement, I'm pretty sure he used my boys litter box, and then one or more of my cats used it afterwards. I am terrified that if my outdoor cat has Felv, that I may have just inadvertently infected my own boys. I'm calling the vet first thing tomorrow to have him tested ASAP and he is NOT allowed out of his room until I know, I am so worried. In your experience, do you think it can happen that easily? With just one interaction like that? Any advice would be appreciated!
