What are some of your experiences with multi-cat home with one cat FIV positive? I have three cats (Scuba, Hoover, and Rugby): one (Rugby)was recently tested FIV positive...they are all indoor cats and each came to me in different circumstances so how Rugby got infected is unclear. But regardless, I am keeping them together (as oppose to putting Rugby to a FIV shelter (or other options) because I understand that the chance of the virus transmission is low among friendly cats, and I just can not abandon Rugby just because he is sick--he is happy with Scuba and Hoover. I have also decided against testing Scuba and Hoover because I decided that knowing either way would not change anything in terms of them staying together--I think it's unfair to Rugby to be sent away. Is this unfair to Scuba and Hoover who are not (supposedly) infected to live with Rugby?
So, could someone share a similar experience about transmission? About longevity? etc.
