Honestly....I would have them 'oked' by the vet first before allowing any interactions.

I wonder -- if one of the older cats has latent herpes, could that be transferred to the kittens?

My cats don't have herpes. They are healthy.

Are cat herpes contagious to humans?

But if it's latent, you wouldn't necessarily know it. That's why I asked. Latent herpes infections are asymptomatic and the cat appears 100% healthy at a vet check-up.

Feline herpes is not contagious to humans.

No. It's a different strain.
